These days in SportDirect and the like, the only sportswear they have in trouser form is either jogging bottoms (heavy, look slovenly, hot/sweaty) or the 100% polyester tracksuit bottom things (feel terrible next to skin).
Years (decades) ago, I bought some (Slazenger?) training pants that were 100% cotton, extremely lightweight and thin, and looked like smart/casual trousers. Imagine a bed sheet, only thinner. They even had a cargo style leg pocket. They let a breeze pass right through them and were so light you almost weren't wearing anything.
They were definately some kind of training pant, as they had elasticated ankles and were made by one of the major sport brands.
But I can't find any shops these days that stock anything other than (awful) jogging bottoms, or those plastic things. Then the next step up is a full-on walking/hiking trouser or cargo trouser, which are obviously useless for any kind of sport.
I don't want to wear lycra pants, before anyone suggests it
Any idea what I'm talking about? I just want a cotton training pant that is lightweight and doesn't look awful if worn around town/the house. Jogging bottoms always look awful. No exceptions!
