It is strictly a bike that is going to be ridden on hot sunny days. Otherwise I will be using my car.

overpants suck in hot weather, no way around it. Mine are textile mesh, and they still suck.
that being said, I still wear mine. I have debated getting a set of knee pads and ditching the overpants on hot days like you're suggesting, especially since my commutes are low speed (under 35). But the lack of hip protection, and absence of a good knee pad that doesn't have a huge shin protector on it, (I ride with full on race boots, every day) has held me back from making the switch.
