Holy cow just wear your denim pants. I wear my Key brand logger pants with suspenders for all my cold weather riding because its what I wear anyway. Yea they are cotton but it hasn't hurt me for rides up to 25 miles which is as far as my commute is. I rode with them in 78 degree weather last Thursday and it wasn't unbearable. In cooler temperatures I don't sweat as bad and they work fine. For lighter rain you just get wet and dry out later. The fit on my jeans is trim in the ankles but I usually just tuck the excess into my sock or wear a reflective ankle gizmo that Riv sells. I've been wanting a chain guard but am too lazy to order one at the moment. Plain old cotton sweat pants work good too if you wear the suspenders to keep them from bunching up but they look kind of too casual off the bike and I won't wear them at work so..................
