protection for legs?

I like how these look but haven't ordered them yet. Scroll down to the basic series. http://www.skinzprotectivegear.com/bicycleproduct.html

I have these. I don't think they're hotter than anything else and they're certainly more comfortable for XC riding than others I've tried.

The trails I've been riding lately have a lot of overgrown manzanita and sage so I might break them out just for that. On the other hand, all the scrubbing means I don't have to shave my legs as much.
