Has anyone seen a zip off pant made of Dynamic or a good light softshell material? The only example I know of nown is the Golite Men's Journey pant, which I just checked out. Great material, nice features and terrible cut which will not work for the vast majority of men. The cut is all over the place – huge leg width, shallow rise – makes you look like you are wearing chaps (the women's version however has a good cut and my wife is very happy with them).

Another available model used to be availabe from BeyondFleece – the convertible Steel Pant (Dynamic). BeyondFleece hasn't had them in a while and won't be taking orders until May 15, but someone there told me they might bring them back.

Appreciate any suggestions – I find pants made of light softshell material like thin stretch woven nylon to be more comfortable and versatile than non-stretch poly pants.

Cloudveil appears to have a couple. It seems like they no longer have the convertible Rodeo pants, which I like very much, but there are other models

That's the Cloudveil Spinner (Intertia Plus) Convertible pant. According to a poster on a similar thread I started on light softshell pants, they are too hot for summer use below tree line (said they would be too hot below 60F). I've never tried the material so can't say myself). They are also not very light.

I'm going to check out Rail Riders offerings and also hope that Beyond Fleece brings back the convertible Steel Pant (Dynamic).
