Most of mine are the nylon "convertible" pants/shorts. I almost never unzip the legs.
I like them for hiking and wading. They are very lightweight, good spf rating, and dry quickly. On small streams I use my crocs to wad in and either use an elastic/velco strap or just a rubber band on the pants around the ankle area. A lot of the time I prefer to use the elastic to hike the pants up over my knees and keep them there while I am in the water and then back down over my legs as I do a little brush beating. That way my pants are usually dry and out of my way, but it is a scary sight -- best to fish wilderness areas! [blush]
I watch for sales and usually get them for about $20. If you can try them on. Different brands can really make a difference in the size you need.
