Paul -
If you're searching for a lighter wool pant, my whipcord wool pants are the most versatile outdoor pants I own, hands down. They are comfortable in warmer temps (well, "warmer" being shoulder seasons in Idaho, anyway...). And when paired with some mid-weight wool longjohns, I can wear them in pretty cold temps quite comfortably. They are also durable as heck, due to the nature of the fabric. I wear them for everything until the temps are well below freezing.
Good whipcord can be expensive, but if you hunt around you can find some good deals. The "Big C" had a good deal on some a while back, and I've been surprised at how good they've turned out to be.
