for surreptitious wilderness area flights/landings?
Patch material if you need it. I use mine in the winter time over my leg insulation layer.
Patches are a good call, has anyone else used a large parka as a parka/packcover?
that is david byrne's preferred approach
With my giant pants I could be half MC hammer half Talking Heads!

You might try tying a knot at the end of each leg, sew a strip of velcro around the inside of the waist, and use them for fishing high mountain lakes.
Just slap them upside down on the lake surface to capture air the length of the pants legs, all the way up past the crotch, then seal the velcro at the waist, and you have a lightweight float tube . . . maybe.
If the pants don't breath much and leak air, that is.
And if you can tolerate cold water like a penguin.
Caution: This is not a proven technique, so best to try it in a swimming pool first.

Waders, cool. I was thinking of making some gaiters and rain shorts. Maybe chaps.
Rip the seams and sew the two legs together to make a 3/4 bivy.
