Check these new OG Winterweight Dry Gray pants from Outlier. Pretty spiffy, no? I really like the tailored look, plus they're made with a serious technical fabric that will apparently keep water out while also wicking sweat. Most rain, snow or slush, I'm reliably informed, will just bead up and roll away. It's a softshell so eventually it will saturate in intense conditions but when it does get wet, it'll dry in 10-20 minutes when safe from the elements. The fabric includes cordura grade nylon for durability. The weave is such that the tough nylon is concentrated on the outside, while the inside is a fuzzy heat retaining fleece for warmth and comfort. They sound like the cycling pants The Sartorialist would invent, if he was an inventor and not some kind of quasi-creepy street-fashion stalker bloke... More details (on the pants, not on The Sartorialist) here.
