If anyone is looking for pants that resist liquids, have good flex, travel well, and still have a fairly trendy cut to them, check out the Levi's commuter pants/gear [1]<p>I'm a bit of a trendy fop and I love them. The fabric has a bit of spandex in it, which makes them super comfortable and flexible. Even though they have the spandex, though, they also have a normal/natural sheen, so people will just think you're wearing regular slacks and not space pants.<p>They're made for cycling, and they also work pretty well for that, as well (which is really where the give of the spandex shines).<p>They run about $80 MSRP<p>If you want to spend an unhealthy chunk of dough, and get pants that are pretty much amazing, you should check out the Outlier OG's [2].<p>Again, they're designed for cycling, but they're made out of a straight up tech fabric called schoeller dryskin [3]. They're relatively water resistant and dry really quickly when they get wet. The fabric has a nice give to it, and is comfortable. Those would set you back about $180, though.<p>I'm a bit of a bike nerd, and do a lot of commuting by bike. Toured ireland for five or six weeks as well. I also like clothes with a good cut. I've found cycling clothes like that tend to offer a lot of functionality that makes them good travel attire and there are a number of companies out there making things with a good cut to them. Like I said, though, I'm into feeding my foppish vanity; If you're not, well, more power to you :)<p>[1] <a href="http://us.levi.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=11844101" rel="nofollow">http://us.levi.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=11844101</a>
