Hiking pants, shorts, and convertible pants. They're usually light weight, and quick drying. Most are made with rip-stop material. If you really shop around around you can find ones with articulated knees, and/or a gusseted crotch. There's probably some pretty good deals around since they're out of season for most places. I'd check
Sierra Trading Post, REI, and any of the big box hunting/camping stores.
