Ibex rules. They are so comfortable in any condition. These are my daily commuter from late summer to early summer here in cold, rainy portland

Wool dress pants (men) or slacks (women) from Goodwill. It’s a bit harder to find wool slacks, I suppose, but they’re out there. Get a size or two too large and shrink them in a hot wash cycle and hot dryer. Shrinking tightens the weave. Hem them 4-6 inches below the knee with elastic band fit to your leg size. Or, get fancy with the sewing machine and create knife pleats. Go wild with a button up cuff if you want. The tight weave works great here in Portland to keep out the wind and rain. You can treat with waterproofing if you want.

I use combat trousers cut off right below the knee patch with some bike shorts underneath.

I just stick with knee/leg warmers until it’s cold enough to warrant Pearl Izumi Amfib tights (which actually work well from 5-45 degrees.) The strategy seems to work well in Boston although I haven’t tested it in NC…
