One of the things I didn't say in the article was to get too specific about the pants. I was looking for nylon or supplex, real light weight, quick drying, partly for sun protection, with zip-off legs. Found exactly what I was looking for at Bass Pro Shops, online. (The size chart runs a little small but the pants fit perfectly). Damn good price, too, about $22 IIRC -- hey, I don't get regular cotton work pants for that. I think I'm going to order another pair and a couple matching shirts. I would point out that Cabela's also has a pretty good selection of outdoor wear in big sizes -- you pay the price with them, though. They have similar pants to the ones I got from Bass Pro Shops, but not big enough.
