I got a great pair of PI tights at the Trexlertown Swap Meet last weekend, but now that I think about it, what do I do with them? They don't have a chamois in them, so now what?

Most people wear cycling shorts underneath non-chamois tights.

Yes -- cycling shorts underneath. The non-chamois tights are nice b/c you can use them for other sports (running, xc skiing), as a base layer for other activities (hiking, sitting around the campfire), and if it's really cold, layer a couple of pairs of tights of different weights to get yourself through a frigid winter ride. Stacking chamois might not work so well

I know it's not for everyone....but I just throw my chamois shorts on TOP of regular long tights, with no problems.

That probably works because you're an undies typ'o' girls. Originally Posted by Lisa S.H.

Without undies, most tights are really NOT comfy (seams in the WRONG place).

Just as long as you don't wear your tights with cycling shorts on top and then underpants on top o' that, everything should work out just fine
