I otherwise like knickers for days that are cool, but not cold.
X100!!! This is what I have gone to wearing on cold rides (padded tights), because I could not stand having two waistbands digging into my tummy. I especially HATE drawstrings! Late last season, I discovered a pair of PI Elite Thermal Cycling tights (with the Elite 3D pad) that have a wonderfully comfortable WIDE waistband that stays up on me without the use of a dreaded drawstring. It is now my go-to tight that I've been wearing until it gets warm enough for knickers or shorts.
