UA Frosty Compression Tights or ?

I just ordered some sugoi mid zero tights from amazon $35 with free shipping. Thanks for the recommendations. I still might get some of the UA tights. One last question do you usually wear shorts over the tights?

Why would you do that?
It doesn't serve any purpose.

If it's cold I will - compression shorts or a running skirt. Keeps the bum warm (but I don't wear underwear under them, either).

I will occasionally wear shorts over my thinner running tights, as I think they're more see-through than I'd like to believe if I bend over to tie my shoe. No one in my running group would be brave enough to tell me if they were.

But generally, not really.

I was thinking shorts under for the extra warmth and since I need to lose about 30# - to help cover up the fat.

If you feel you have to be "covered," look into a wrap/stretch type skirt (like the ones Terry sells) that you can wear over anything. Athleta sells running tights and knickers with attached skirts (a skort with tights), but they are expensive. I really don't need any warmth underneath until it goes down to 32. I already have Ibex wool boxers for nordic skiing, so I use those.
Really, no one is looking at your body when you run by. And, if they are, who cares? Any runner I see, especially in the winter, I think, "good for him/her."

My Sugoi MidZero Tights just came. They seem like they're going to be really warm. I think I got a bargain, $35.
