Leah, You may want to look at running pants. They seem to be a good stand in for cycling specific bottoms. In a lot of cases their is a bit of water resistance, some reflective elements and are breathable. They also tend to be light in material so as not to be too bulky. A jogger style training pant or even a soccer pant would work. since it would give a taper that would help keep the pant leg from getting snagged.
I work part time at for an athletic shoe and apparel store company with extensive exposure to women's apparel. Your results may vary.
