Nemo, I rarely take a long ride without my rain gear packed. However, I have made calculated decisions to leave the gear at home only to find my calculations umm lacking.
I wear Olympia's mesh riding pants on most rides. If it's hot, I find that wearing them over gym shorts is more comfortable than riding in jeans. When I have been caught with my rain pants off, I get wet of course, but the mesh pants dry out quicker than jeans.
Olyrider's Aeristitch suggestion is probably a great one, too. I have heard good things about that utility pant. Good luck.
