I haven't done any hiking this year so far. Normally I have. But some from a past hike.

I've done some tramping with Kiwis in the Southern Alps in the winter. Just shorts, mate, we did not have those poly shorts in the mid70s. The tussock grass is long and has almost a razor's edge. On cold mornings, the snow-encrusted grass leaning across the track felt like it was slicing into your bare legs...but no blood, no foul. But later on, one was going to be crossing back and forth braided rivers, so long pants would just kept one's legs wet and cold longer.
Ah, the good old days. I wore my blue suede basketball shoes (Converse) without socks going kayaking for my first time in NZ during that same time. My feet were dyed blue for a couple weeks.

I've been wearing shorts a little less these days...often a light pair of long pants from Christmas to mid February. Otherwise long pants rub the hair off my knees and they get cold.
Most of my hiking in my 20s were done in a pair of lederhosen. Great for sliding down snow patches, sitting on sharp rocks, etc. Good temperature range. Eventually the sweat down my back ate the leather.

Fine in the Pacific NW, mountains, and desert -- but at the time never got into tropical climates with them.
