I'm looking for a fall/winter commuter pant (or maybe just a pant- more on that in a minute) that's slim-fitting and made of a technical or Smartwool-type fabric but isn't a full-on tight. The commuter options that I've seen tend to be baggier cotton jeans or chinos, and what makes them "commuter pants" is that they have commuter-friendly touches like high-visibility trim and grime resistance yet can double as officewear. I shower and change at work, so the latter isn't the least bit important to me. But at the same time, I don't want to be rolling into (and out of) work in tights. Does any manufacturer make the kind of thing that I'm describing?

Thanks in advance.
I've had good luck with pants from Ex-Officio, although I don't remember the specific product name. They tend to be technical enough to bike in, either a poly/cotton blend or straight synthetic, and they look half-decent. You could probably pull off some of them at an office even.
