Good lightweight pant.  I'm not a medical person, but needed something for a road trip in case I needed to take dog out for a walk and it might still be a little cool where we traveled.  Pockets came in handy for various items on walks.  Not only did I use it for walking but soon discovered how comfortable they were just to drive in.  Was able to "hand-press" when they came out of dryer -- looked pretty good!
