I've done some multi day backpacking. I understood the question.
A cheap pair of gym shorts and track pants are sufficient for most summer backpacking. Most cheap athletic wear is perfectly suitable for the task.
My point was that it is not necessary to spend $70-100 on a pair of Prana Zion soft shell pants for backpacking. It is a viable option.
Of course people should be prepared for different conditions. Cold and wet is a dangerous combination even in summer.
