OK, I very seldom have to weat tights when I ride.  I am kinda warm blooded I guess, but when I do I put an un-padded tight over my PI padded shorts.  So is this the proper way, I have read some that put shorts over tights.   Or does it matter.  I would think the tights under the shorts would /could lead to hot sots where the seams are?????

I always put the tights over the shorts.

There shouldn't be anything between you and your chamois. With the tights underneath, like you said, you are asking for some major friction rub.

Tights over shorts is the way to go.  If you find yourself overheating, you can take the tights off and still have your shorts on.  That doesn't work if your shorts are on top.

+1. Shorts..then tights over them. Not only will this increase your comfort level...but also your cool factor. Tights with shorts over them would not make you the "cool kid" on the group rides.

Follow the same advice with your bike shorts.

FWIW: I now love my leg warmers. A bit cold for them now, but for November and March riding, they're fantastic! Unzip the bottom when it starts toi get warm, take off mid-day when it warms up more and roll into your pocket, slip back on later in the day. Perfect.
