Personally I wouldn't want to carry wind pants that might be good enough to just sit around in camp with, but we each make this trade-offs differently.

It looks like the type I have aren't available anymore (or at least not here):

If you're ever inclined to a set of driducks rain gear, just cut up the pants portion and make your own chaps; pretty light.
