Kitpicking - Action trousers

Okay chaps, time for your kit brains to spool up.  This LEJOG is an excuse for a kit refresh, and one thing I still don't have are some Heroic Adventure Trousers.  Combats are all well good but are heavy, bulky and slow-drying.  The cargo hotpants I got in Tignes aren't safe outside France!  Time for some small-packing quick-drying hardwearing versatile off-bike trousers.  Are Rohan worth the wedge?  How about the other name brands, Craghopper and the like?  What about high-street stuff?  Your wisdom is needed, as my trewcunning is close to nil.

We both rate Rohan (their stuff is expensive but last for ages - I have some t-shirts I've been using since I started cycling again, nearly eight years ago. The printing looks pretty crap but the material is still fine)
Tend to get it at the shop in Clark's Village in Street. Ends of lines, seconds, that sort of thing.
