OBOW Forum poster DM has correctly identified a key challenge for the light traveler: jeans that will dry overnight.

Except for 1 or 2 pairs of actual blue jeans that I have seen that include coolmax (but are still over 60% cotton), nothing even comes close to what I would consider a “Holy Grail” of sorts for travel pants. Blue jeans allow you to blend in many corners of the world, are comfortable and fashionable, but are just too heavy and slow-drying for the common lightweight traveler. - OBOW Forum

Ozone’s $139 Tilleys might be an option for some. I’d be looking to spend a bit less. Travelsmith has a Coolmax offering for $69 a pair.

Rohan make "Jeans Plus" (http://www.rohandesigns.com/Product/Detail/MensTrousers_03093?ocode=03093188) - 70% cotton, 29% CoolMax, 1% spandex - that they claim "dry in about two thirds the time of ordinary denim". Haven't tried them, but they do make a quality product.

RailRiders Rock Jeans aren't denim but will probably be pretty good too.

For the younger (and younger at heart) set, many of the skateboarding clothing company's have Coolmax jeans: Element, Quiksilver, DC Shoes, etc.
