Flying pants
I've had a pair of the Duluth dry on the fly shorts for years, I'd recommend them. Multiple good sized pockets, comfortable, and the cargo pocket with side zippers are easy to access in flight.

Seriously? $100 for a pair of MC Hammer pocket pants? LMAO Yeah but if you have flying pants you don't need a glider. |

Cargo pants are like the Ray Ban case on the belt. Darn convenient but only used by “Mature” men.

I love the Sahara Roll-up pants from REI. They have zippered cargo pockets on both sides. I keep essentials in them that I would not want to not lose in a bail-out. They also have these neat waist cinches that make a belt unnecessary. When it's hot on the ground, I roll up the legs to below my knees, and I roll them down before takeoff.
https://www.rei.com/product/158172/r...-up-pants-mens I have some of the Colombia cargo pants that are similar, but inferior. Only one of the side pockets is zippered; the other has a tiny piece of velcro that would blow right open in a bail out. The lower legs unzip, but I find that much less convenient than rolling them up. |

Flying pants
I've been wearing these for soaring and towing. Like ‘em. Not convertible. Mine have 10 pockets, including the three on each thigh. One keeps a cell phone perfectly. To keep bugs and stuff out at a field, use blousing bands, if you don't care about looking extra dorky.
