Thats funny I saw the title and thought "well somebody has to say it, spack as they are, Ron Hill Tracksters".

I bought some for winter running but they are fine on the bike with shorts underneath.

And don't you just love how the Yanks call trousers "pants", in a Viz kind of way.

Marmot make some great stuff. The scree pants are good for walking, scrambling & travelling around. I've got some older Marmot pants and they're similar but not as stretchy, very good though.
I reckon they'd be just like any other stretchy walking pant when on the bike, i.e. not perfect due to the cut.
What you gonna use them for Ton?

Endura Humvee/Singletrack troos?

Ron Hills make you look like a 90s Polaris entrant. Just a green Buffalo smock to finish off the ensemble 🙂

bikesters with DXB coating are very good (if you can find them)
Ron Hill also do a Trakster trek with pockets and a slightly looser fit so not as clingy.

The Scree trousers/pants will be fine for gentle cycling but the waistband at the back won't be as high as it is on dedicated cycling pants/troos.

If they've still got any left in your size, the recent Aldi cycling trousers are very good value.
