I bought these pants for warm but snowy hikes. They worked great - they were breathable, didn't feel gross against bare skin, didn't let melting snow in, extremely light. Then I wore them rock climbing on a windy day. Again, they were great. They were durable enough to be scraped against granite all day without fraying, they blocked the wind and I didn't feel all sweaty in them. The only drawbacks are: they should have a crotch zip and ankle zips.
I got these on sale from Patagonia for about 60 bucks. Totally worth it.

Very light pull-on pants. I use mine for bike commuting and they work great (never caught them in the chain).
These will be the pants that I carry for hiking in the Sierra now.

Much like the pullover, these pants work fantastic. They breath very well, repel water exceptionally well, and seem to fit just right. Also, both the pants and pullover pack down to almost nothing. My only complaint is that they wont pull over my size 11 boots, contrary to what Patagonia advertises.
