I have a pair of old Ex-Officio Nomad pants and I love them but they are HUGE on me and they don't make them in anything smaller than a women's 4–which is what I have. What I'm looking for:
1) non-stretchy lightweight nylon. I already have some Pata Rock Guide/Crafts and Prana Halles that fill the stretchy bill. I just don't like the way they stretch out after a few days of travel and lose their shape.
2) relaxed fit (better air-flow than fashion-y fitted pants)
3) roll-up bottom (I use this feature more than I ever would have guessed)
4) not noisy/swishy/crackly
5) prefer traditional fly over elastic waist. mostly an aesthetic thing, but these are more for "outdoor travel" than backcountry use, so that does matter.
6) <10 oz ideally
I'm guessing RailRiders are probably the way to go–but maybe there are some other suggestions? Something I can find for less than $80?
