Tights -- recommendations?

[Owlie]

I have Sugoi's MidZero Zap tights (running tights), which work quite well in the 40s and down to the upper 30s, depending on the wind. I've worn them in the upper 50s/ low 60s too (it wasn't supposed to warm up that much!), and they were almost too much, but not horribly uncomfortable. (Of course, I'd also taken my gloves off and unzipped my jacket...)

I really like the MidZeros, too. I also have what Sugui used to call their Helix tight. I think it goes under the name "Jackie" now. It's their lightest tight but is surprisingly warm (at least my version is).

I really like Under Armor's "Frosty" tights for conditions like that. They have a high waist and are REALLY stretchy, but not too heavy, so they're perfect over a pair of cycling shorts. They're also pretty long, so they have lots of room for leg/knee movement.

I have some partly worn out ones that are better for when it isn't quite as cold.

I also vote for the Mid Zeros. I wear them in the 40s and low 50s, when it's cloudy or windy, below 55. Anything above that, I wear knickers or knee warmers (which are more like leg warmers on me). I can't wear them in the 30s. For that, I have the Sub zeros, which are great for the 30s. Sometimes, I wear my Ibex wool/Gore Tex tights that are really for winter sports, in the low thirties.

Another vote for Sugoi Midzero - I wear them well into the 50's, they are great for when you need something but it is far too warm to pull out the Amfibs.

So, update, with spring and summer warmth I held off on the purchase of tights, but now that fall is here I've ordered and received a pair of the Sugoi Midzeros. I just tried them on -- they're very comfy, and this is the warmest my legs have been all day. However they're a bit bunchy behind the knees -- has anyone had a problem with that? I'm hoping it won't get too irritating after a couple of hours of riding.
