How about a pair of Colorado Chaps?

I've commuted on motorcycles for many years.
I either wear my jeans in and change at work, or I have a pair of Tourmaster synthetic over pants. They have removable panels, mesh lining, a rain barrier and a thernal liner. I pretty much can wear them year round in the Washington DC area.

You want gaiters, I wore them all the time, keeps lower legs warm and prevents your pants from blowing and flapping.. It also prevents looking like a dork with your socks and calves showing.
Google quarter chaps and half chaps.

Thanks for the replies. I travel to several places and I do not have a designated office. I’m kind of an itinerant consultant. So the idea of keeping jeans at work doesn’t work. Ive been looking at gators and was wondering about nylon vs leather. I want protection but want to stay comfortable.

Heres an idea. Buy a pair of regular pants two or three sizes too big for you. Just pull them over your work pants. Pull them off at work.
And if you get any teasing from anyone who sees your quick change show, well tell them youre a Chippendale dancer in training.

Prevent ruination via road grime and rain to your dress slacks? Check.
Non hassle to install/remove quickly? Check.
Protection? Check.
What you need is Aerostitch.
They're NOT cheap Chinese made Harley crap.
Made in Duluth, by tailors.
Custom fit to you (Like a tuxedo.)
Repairable if you come off your bike.
Durable
Lots of choices of "levels of protection."
Choices of reflective panels and where.
You gets what you pays for.
www.aerostitch.com
Also, more locally to me, there's Motoport.
They do custom tailored suits as well. Kevlar mostly.
Wayne Boyer (the owner) is an old motocross racer.
Very high quality stuff.
Again, NOT cheap.
