As much as I swore I would never buy anything from UnderArmour due to their advertising and high prices... I have to admit that my favorite cycling pants are UA too.

I was using C9 wind pants from Target, which are fairly okay, but I couldn't find any more in my size at the local store. I looked at other brands at the local Dick's - Addidas, something else I forget, and UA. Tried them all on and loved the UA. I swallowed my pride, paid too much for them, and have absolutely been wearing them every day since (even doing laundry at night just to have them again the next day). UA Bandito Woven Pants, here is a link:

They are great in the wind and yet seem to breathe better than the C9 pants, I sweat less. They also fit me better (YMMV) and, of all things, are quieter - less noise, particularly when walking.

They are too damn expensive, but I love 'em.

I wish a manufacturer would offer the same product, but with some retroreflective piping. And make it in the USA. That would be truly great. I don't like spending so much on a foreign made product (supporting mainly advertising during ballgames), but I do like these pants.
