I work in a very casual office where jeans and Hawaiian shirts are acceptable but I don't want to wear bike tights or shorts to work. In cold weather I can wear Pearl Isumi winter pants, I can't find any kind of warm weather bicycle pants for men. Has anyone found an acceptable pants solution for commuting to work?

liners and any old regular baggy shorts seems to do the trick for me. Doesn't hurt that they're usually half the price of proper cycling shorts.

I ride, comfortable, casual in sweatpants with pockets..
cotton blend or compound knit poly.. smooth outside , fleeced inside.

elastic waistband , , carrying a few extra Kg.

I just use regular work pants. These are about 65 - 35% poly cotton. The brand name is usually Kodiak. State side Dickies might be close in quality.

Very practical, comfortable and last forever.

I wear worn khakis.

Just a suggestion: https://www.lapolicegear.com/basic-op...t-elastic.html

I have several pair of these (mainly due to the price). For some reason they look way more tactical on the website. I don't typically tuck my shirt in so that probably helps some (you could cut off the D-rings if those turn you off). It seems the pair the model is wearing are a little big and I swear the pockets on mine don't look that big and they sit pretty flat. I'd recommend the coyote and sierra for colors but I have the OD and khaki as well. The sierra looks the "nicest" IMO. Order a couple of pair and see what you think, $20/per you can't go too wrong.

Size wise these seem to run pretty accurate and everything I've gotten fit well. These are my go to pants if shorts won't do on my bike.

These are nice but pricey. I am saving up for a pair.

Extremely nice. Wearing one today as I had a meeting. For place like S. Cal though, I find summer weight one is much better off for me.
Probably will get another one either 1) this one's DWR wears out (or too old) 2) lose enough weight (yah...sure)... 3) Job changes where I have to dress up more often.
I try to save it up for bike ride only but this has turned into my go to Church pants as well as it's just so much comfier...

+1 on the OGs. They're stretchy and quick drying and I like their cut. My only beef with them is that dog hair seems to stick to them--which sucks when you have a white German shepherd

My r/t commute is 29 miles, so cycling specific clothing is a must for me. Today it is raining, so I'm wearing Sobike rain pants, a Chinese Gore-Tex knockoff, over cycling shorts.

For short trips around the neighborhood for errands I wear Rapha jeans or trousers. They fit great and look neat off the bike. They are well worth the price, and not too much different from Outliers in that respect.

Since i have started to commute i have been wearing outliers. The price is high but i think well worth it.

I wear mostly Swrve stuff https://www.swrve.us/

Super nice and friendly owners too.

I like these if you can wear convertible pants.I wear padded liners and these pants are great for me. There are several inseam lengths. https://www.rei.com/product/827489/co...mens-30-inseam

I just recently got lots of 2nd and one 3rd degree burn on my both legs from a alcohol stove. So cant have exposed legs in the sun for a few months.

What i found that look good off and on bike are a pair of very super light (nylon) hiking pants. Dont bother burns when rubbing much and very cool on hot days and surprisingly warm on cool days. Baggy enough to wear over anything and have tie type cords on the bottom for keeping bugs out which work for not catching on chain. They dont seem to wrinkle either. Dry very fast if they get wet.

You wont be able to get the brand i have (MEC.) in the US. But you could look for similar. Climbing pants are similar too.

I like dickies

if I have to wear pants, which I don't so often unless it's winter ... I go with Swedish Trekking pants from Fjällräven.

very pricey (I originally bought them for my 2 month trip around Vietnam) but the cut is supreme, they can be worn at work, they dry in 30 minutes by air or by 3 minutes under a hand-dryer in the men's bathroom and the cost includes getting them cut and hemmed to the correct length. in addition, you can zip off the bottoms if you want (and the unsightly zipper is quite hidden).

i didn't realize that you guys had them in the US yet, but it seems like you do.

i'd highly recommend them because they're made from G-1000, which I've found to be quite durable in my pants and rucksack.

the ones in the middle.

vid in Swedish (sorry)

I was just reading about some commuter pants from Levi's https://us.levi.com/product/index.jsp...&clickid=prdsw. Haven't tried them, but looks promising.

Northface hiking/cargo pants - the kind with zip off legs. Cool, light, fast drying, well designed and durable.

I, a US resident, have a MEC membership and they will ship to me. I believe their online stock does not always match what may be available in their stores, but I am a happy user of their rainpants and overboots.

I'm also looking for shorts to commute in. My commute just jumped a few miles, and it's no longer feasible to ride in my work clothes, plus I've worn out half a wardrobe worth of crotches in the last two years. I'm not normally that rough on clothing. I'm expecting to find some cargo shorts or an equivalent with reinforcements and wear them over lycra I already own.

Well in that case, the ones i got are called "river pants". They fit a little long but that works with the draw cords well. As far as shorts go i just wear light weight stuff,nothing fancy so cant help you with reenforced type as i dont look for them.
MEC actually have a good selection of light weight and heavier weight i should add, climbing/ hiking pants. Shorts i usually buy elsewhere cheaper(Zellers $15 bucks on sale.) as i wear them out like you do. Actually i find often the MEC store is outa stuff and have to go online to get it. So i think your ok there.
Its a good outfit. Never met a miserable employee there ever,i might end up applying at the one in town here one day(partime) when i get tired of being retired. Or maybe i shouldnt i can get a little cranky now and then lol.
