can be worn more than once w/o washing if its not wet and dirty out

Same here--tights over cycling shorts, so you can take them off if need be.

Wear them over, but I had some trouble doubling up. Any two layers rubbing can cause heat build up. and seat discomfort. I ended up dropping the bucks for the lined ones after a single season.

Thanks! I was thinking over shorts for the seams and over heating reason, but I've seen people wearing them as the first layer - not that I would notice if the shorts were under!

I wear unpadded tights OVER a regular pair of cycling shorts. The only problem I tend to have, is that the tights will sometimes slide down on me...which is usually a result of wearing 2 "slick" materials on top of each other. To solve this issue, I bought a pair of cheapo suspenders from the men's department at Walmart, and I use the suspenders to keep my tights from falling down. Works like a charm.
