    Mine does, too. Sometimes I will wear a pair of compression shorts or a running skirt over. That usually helps a lot.

    I wear the Ibex briefs under my all-purpose tights - mostly so I can wear the tights more than once between washing. No clammy, no chafe, no ride up. I don't think I'd wear underwear under compression tights. I really like all my CW-X legwear, including the Insulator tights which are good down to 35° or so, but they aren't cheap, and I save them for my longest runs and races.

    Thank you for the feedback. Is there a difference between running and cycling tights without chamois? Would I be better off with cycling tights than running tights?

    There's no difference in my mind. Of course, I'm only a seasonal runner (winter, spring) and I have no issues running/hiking in my tights originally bought for cycling. I hate cycling tights with chamois, so it's great to have more than one use. I also wear them x country skiing, if it's really warm, like in the thirties (that's warm for nordic skiing). I've even run in my wool Ibex tights when it's been in the twenties.
