Hope y'all won't mind a "backpacking" gear question — backpacking in the non-American sense — meaning traveling/hosteling.
I travel with two pairs of pants — one on me and one in the pack. Right now, it's khaki and charcoal. I find that I need to wash the khaki a lot more frequently. So, I am looking to replace the khaki with something darker — but not black or charcoal. Dark blue (navy) will work — but I can't seem to find any hiking/travel pants in that color any more? Do y'all know of any?
My 'modest' requirements:
1. Poly – quick drying, no ironing, no fuss
2. Two front pockets (like all regular pants) — plus two leg pockets
3. NO convertibles (too ugly for urban wear) – and preferably no exaggerated 'outdoorsy' lookEDIT – By "poly", I meant synthetics — including Nylon.
Jan 31, 2015 at 3:31 pm #2170131Just to give an idea, my current pairs are Patagonia Nomader pants.. But I am not particular about brands at all.
Jan 31, 2015 at 3:59 pm #2170137Polyester is a tough one in hiking lines. Lots of nylon. Columbia makes these in "everblue" http://www.backcountry.com/columbia-royce-peak-pant-mens
Never tried these, but they look like they were made for you:

Thanks for your quick response! I've edited my post above to include Nylon as well.
Yeah, I've seen the Columbia "everblue" as well — I don't think it's dark enough. I've never heard of Bluffworks — but they look really nice! Learn something new everyday. Thanks again.

http://www.rei.com/product/877605/rei-adventures-pants-mens-30-inseamFeb 1, 2015 at 10:01 am #2170250Thanks, John. Time for a REI visit…
Just came back from REI… still looking for pants — preferably with two leg pockets — not just one. Any other recommendations?
Feb 2, 2015 at 2:52 am #2170423Try the Travelsmith website. They have several styles and colors of travel pants for men. Some poly like the Anywhere pants..
Feb 2, 2015 at 9:11 am #2170471Not 100% nylon but maybe these meet your needs (and they are available in Navy blue):
