That is also a great way to void get chaffed any where under your trekking pants too. Those leggin's take all the wear and tear and you can just keep on trekking...sabre11004... goodjob

There are several trail pants on sale at Sierra's Bargain Barn. (be sure to use the link at left). Some are zip-leg convertibles and some aren't but look like good deals.

Sabre, you reminded me of the brand of the pants I bought at Academy...Magellan. Thanks. Those are the ones I wear, and I like them so far. I have worn them for a couple of years.

I have only worn them one season and I am sure that you get out more than I do of late any way. I have some property near by here and we go there a lot,but, they are showing signs of wear. I have also kind of used these as work pants too and they, for that use, have held up really well. They dry very quickly and for as thin as they are they do seem to hold up well...sabre11004... thanks

Looks like pants are a good area to cut weight if one can get by with light nylon pants.

These pants weigh under 3 ounces.http://www.prolitegear.com/montbell_ul_wind_pants.html

I would guess that some of the pants listed in the replies are in the 1 pound or heavier class.

I usually carry pants that have the zip off legs. If I get cool at night I just zip them back on. Beats carrying two pair of pants to hike in.

I like Schoeller pants. They cover a wide range of temps, shed light rain, are fairly breathable and I don't have to bother about taking on or off the legs. More expensive to start with, but the pair I have has lasted me for years.

I use "Dollar Store" nylon zip offs and fleece pajama pants underneath when it's cold. If it's freezing I'll add some long undies under the fleece.

That combo works from hot to cold for me and it's light enough to carry around and cheap enough to beat up without worrying about it.
