Default Soaring pants. Yes, pants.

I never fly in shorts or shirt with short sleeves. Dress to egress. If I find myself standing in a field or worse place I want to be protected from sun, cold whatever. I also wear very lightweight boots, not runners for flying.

Yes, but flying at 18K' in the Rockies can get a bit uncomfortable
in shorts, especially under clouds.* That's why I like the
convertible pants; long legs for flying, zip off legs for shorts to
enjoy that adult beverage after flying.

Duluth Trading shorts. These rule! They have side zip access to the cargo pockets so they are easy access while in the cockpit.

These nylon shorts have the advantage that any spills (or leaks) dry quickly.
