I have a pair of textile riding overpants. They are great - but I only bother wearing them when riding on the open road.
The majority of my riding is short trips or spur of the moment: a 15 minute commute across town, a 10 minute ride to the local mall, a quick 5 minute jaunt down the ocean road to get an ice cream cone, etc. For rides like that, it's easy to grab my helmet, jacket, gloves, and even boots, but I don't bother with the overpants.
When I leave town and head out on the highway, though, the overpants are put to use.
