I realize that this is probably another "holy grail" search, but here goes…
I am looking for a pair of convertible pants with the following attributes:
1) Light
2) Durable
3) Quick Drying
4) Breathable
5) Longer inseam… almost knickeresque (below knee when zipped off)
6) Water resistant would be a plus and offset the need for #3
I don't necessarily care if they do/don't have lower leg zippers – from a weight standpoint I would prefer them without.
I found some cycling pants by showers pass, but I think they are heavy and don't breath. At one time I thought I saw a pair that had zippers at two different points on the leg, allowing either knickers or shorts – I can't find them anymore… if I found them I would probably give them a shot and just remove the shorts zippers and sew them back together.
Have at it… let's see what you can do.
Thanks.
