    Canterbury rugger shorts and hunters element leggings are my go to and have kept me comfortable in sun rain and snow for as long as I can remember. I particularly like the freedom of movement they offer along with the fact that the leggings dry out pretty quick. I have just got a pair of HE Macaulay pants to add to my pack so that if it got REALLY cold I'd have an answer, having said that for me if my core temp is good the rest of me seems happiest not smothered in thick layers

    Mid length shorts,
    but have been using a pair of First Light Corrugate Guide Pants. Light issh 480 gr, 4 way stretch, very comfortable to walk in, Don't want to say a snug fit but they are not a loose or baggy cut so they don't tend to catch when you are walking through scrub.
    DWR coated but now they are a few years old I would not call them waterproof, Carry an over trousers for that.
    They are pilling from the knee down but I don't very often wear Gaters unless I expecting a lot of water, or mud, or sandy gravel.

    Warehouse Backcountry shorts for me. Might be different if I hunted throiugh matagouri or blackberry! But my advice has to be taken with a grain of salt because I've only worn long pants once (to a funeral) in 3 years I actually wore shoes that day too; usually it's either jandals, redbands or hunting boots...

    I’m a big fan of the Montane terra stretch pants. Nice and light, stretchy and don’t need gaiters.

    Kauri Trail Hunua hiking pants from Farmers Stretch, articulated knee, plenty of pockets but a bit noisy when new, couple of washes later they soften up. They dry fast and last for years. For winter I have some early Stoney Creek that are ok. Used to be shorts & long johns & a swanny but that was a while ago

    Rab incline pants. Not cheap but lightweight and breath really well. I wear them for summer tops trips thru to winter tahr trips and find them good for everything. I used shorts and long John's up to a year or go but find the long pants miles better.

    I mostly wear shorts, but when it’s a bit colder I really rate the commando pants from warfighter athletic. Warm, light water resistant. When they do get wet they dry super quickly.
