Whirly,
I find jeans are nice and comfy for the winter and combat trousers are nice during the summer.. .Obviously if you've dug out your old jeans from the 70's then perhaps not. Not so easy to fly in a pair of drainpipes LOL
As for the convertible trousers, I've seen them and yes they're a good idea although once I turned up to a lesson wearing shorts and got told off. It's a bit like the days when I used to work as a chef, if you wear a pair of thick cotton trousers, they're light, warm in winter, fairly cool in summer. But if there's a fire they offer some protection, won't melt onto your skin and if fuel or anything spills onto them and catches alight, they should be fairly easily removable. What happens when you're wearing shorts and any flamable liquid spills over you? do you just peel your flesh off? hmmm
