Tights -- recommendations?

[ny biker]

I'm looking for tights that are good for temps in the high 40s-low 50s. No chamois. And suggestions?

The ones I see at the LBS seem like they are more appropriate for colder weather, with brushed thermal insides.

I actually really love my wool Kneekers knee warmers from DeFeet, and they are long enough to almost reach my ankles, but I find the tops of my legs get cold where they are covered by my shorts.

Thanks!!

I personally like running tights. My current pair (that is really needing to be replaced) is a pair of Pear Izumis with zips at the ankles.

I have Sugoi's MidZero Zap tights (running tights), which work quite well in the 40s and down to the upper 30s, depending on the wind. I've worn them in the upper 50s/ low 60s too (it wasn't supposed to warm up that much!), and they were almost too much, but not horribly uncomfortable. (Of course, I'd also taken my gloves off and unzipped my jacket...)

I really like the MidZeros, too. I also have what Sugui used to call their Helix tight. I think it goes under the name "Jackie" now. It's their lightest tight but is surprisingly warm (at least my version is).

I really like Under Armor's "Frosty" tights for conditions like that. They have a high waist and are REALLY stretchy, but not too heavy, so they're perfect over a pair of cycling shorts. They're also pretty long, so they have lots of room for leg/knee movement.

I have some partly worn out ones that are better for when it isn't quite as cold.
