Sure hope someone out there knows about leg warmers that are appropriate for use with knickers rather than with shorts. The leg warmers for use with shorts are too long and I'd love to hear about the availability of shorter ones.

What about knee socks? Mimitabby has some lovely Smartwool knee socks that she wears with her Ibex wool bike knickers. When it gets warmer, you just roll the socks down to your ankles.
This doesn't directly address your question, but I thought I'd suggest it. On days when I think my knickers won't be enough but full tights would be too much, I wear my Shebeest "Pedal Pushers." At least on me (I'm on the short side), they hit a little bit lower than mid-calf. That still leaves some leg exposed, but if the temperatures warrant a knicker versus a full tight, I find that I'm only chilled for a little bit. Once I warm up, I'm fine.

I've worn light-weight tights over knickers on the way to work- then gone home in only the knickers.
yes, i wear knee socks a lot with my knickers.
But when DH was going DOWN from Washington pass back into the methow valley (think fast cold wet descent) he wore regular leg warmers right over HIS knickers. He really liked the combo
Thanks to all of you for your comments and suggestions. It's very helpful to know how you handle this, and I'll try each suggestion.
