I wear PI thermafleece tights for cold weather. The Amfib tights are nicer (with a wind shield on the front) I've just never forked out the cash for them

Performance triflex tights. VERY warm. The only problem is that they're not very stretchy, so if they fit you very tightly they might be a little restrictive.

Amfibs - also for running and cross-country skiing.
It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

I just saw this thread.
I recently picked up a pair of PI AmFib tights on Steep and Cheap. I wore them on my commute the other day at 25 degrees F (-3.8 C). Holy SMOKES...these things were GREAT. Heavier than both my PI Thermafleece tights and my Hincapie Super Roubaix bib tights, they were very comfortable for a really cold ride. They seem to be a bit shorter in length than the other PI's but not as short as the Hincapie's (my major knock against an otherwise great pair of tights). The windproof front, breathable back was just what I needed to convince me to ride when it was that cold out!2007 Seven ID8 - Bontrager InForm

I really like my Sugoi Subzero tights. Very warm and weather resistant down to the teens. The Midzero tights are nice too, for temps above maybe 35 (on bike -- good for somewhat colder temps running).

In the 30's Ibex wool, wind block pants. I wear them for x country skiing and snow shoeing, too (with long underwear when it's really cold). Sometime I wear my knee length wool ski socks instead of regular wool cycling socks.
In the 40's I have a pair of Hind fleece lined tights that are great. I don't think they make them anymore. I usually start wearing them when it's in the low fifties. Between 50 and 65 I wear knee or leg warmers.

Living geographically near you..i wear the PI ultra therma-fleece tights and the Performance Tri-flex tights. The tri-flex have more of a wind protection on them, and they remind me of wearing like a rubber suit or something..but they are warm. I had to order a larger size than normal in those d/t the fit, as they are tight as roadie gal mentioned-(then I debated if I should've still ordered another size larger than that). The ultra therma fleece's are nice and warm too and I use them on less windier days.
