Thanks for the feedback, everyone! Well, I ended up returning the AmFib tights today. I'm going to try the PI Elite Thermal (non-padded)..just ordered a pair today. Had to size-up in this tight...which is odd, because every other PI bottom that I own (and I own lots) is a medium...but with this new Elite Thermal tight I had to go with a Large. Luckily I got a chance to try on a pair (the padded version) at REI before ordering..otherwise, I surely would have ordered the wrong size. I couldn't even get the mediums up my thighs! Can't even imagine how tight they'd be worn over a pair cycling shorts.
