Default Uninsulated riding pants???

I'm wondering if anyone knows of some waterproof riding pants that go over your jeans. I don't need the knee and hip armor and don't want them to be insulated.
I'm looking for waterproof uninsulated over pants. The textile type, not just nylon rain pants.
Anyone know of anything like this???

Check out Olympia Ranger pants. They do have an insulated liner, hip and knee protection but it is all removable.

Being addicted to riding in the rain my friend, when I do use rain gear, Harley has EXCELLENT rain gear.

Just be aware, there is light rain gear and the heavier stuff. None that I recall being insulated. Their stuff is really good. They do it right to:

1) Do the job keeping u pretty dry
2) Allow you to be seen
3) Gives u outside secure and dry pockets
4) One seat (heavy or light) lasts a LONG time

h'ope that helps,

I have the top end harley rain gear but I hate having to stop to put it on.
I wear the harley textile jackets now and really like them over leather and would like the textile pants for comfort and in case of rain I don't have to stop and change.

I found some Firstgear HT over pants she'll that might just do the trick.

This is basically the set I use in cooler weather. Wash with Nixwax and no water gets through even in a deluge.
