Hi, I'm looking for suggestions on tights. I have a pair of Cannondale midweight tights that I love, but they're kind of slippery, and sometimes the leg (particularly the right) twists around when I ride, putting the seams in a not so great position. I had to size down to an XS/P in the tights from my usual S in their shorts.

I really like warmth and muscle support of tights, and for this winter I'd like one pair of chamois tights (since I don't have many shorts and I don't have any shorts large enough to fit over the tights for a less slippery ride). But I'd be ok with another chamoisless. I'm just wondering if there's something a little better out there than the Cannondale.

I've tried on PI, but their stuff is way to big in the waist and seat for what size fits everywhere else (I have the same problem with all PI bottoms). I tried on Nike tights, but the rise was very low, and the proper size was too tight for using as an overlayer. The next size up just wasn't right. (I won't buy another Nike chamois though...my knickers are painful..and I don't know if these tights come with one anyway).

I have a fairly low waist, so while I want coverage, I don't need an exaggerated high rise. Bottoms tend to be the tightest around the thighs and sometimes the hips but cycling is melting away my butt and waist. I also have skinny calves, and probably want something like around a 28" inseam.

What brand / styles would you recommend for me? (Not much else to try in the LBS, so I'd have to order).

Even lightweight tights recommendations welcome for future reference / warm days. It's hard for my legs to feel too warm when I ride--if I need to cool off, I tend to take layers off the top first.
