The Prana pants have Spandex, which means they have some stretch to them. I don't usually associate stretch with Cordura.

If your pants don't have to be rugged, and you want them to be very light, check out Argon fabrics carried by Dutchwaregear.com. The last I checked, they had 3 weights available. Argon is supposed to be very similar to Pertex.

Good Luck!
