I'm currently in the market for some insulating tights to run in when it's cold outside (<45 degrees) and I know Underarmor has some "coldgear" tights for that purpose, but those run $50. I've been looking online at the sales at Nashbar/Performance and there are lots of cycling tights to be had for $25. Are these essentially the same thing, and will they provide good insulation for cold weather running?

Another question, how do I make sure I don't have a padded ass? What does it mean if it says it has chamois?

Thanks!

the chamois is the padded ass. that can get uncomfortable for running or walking around.

Great, that's what I was thinking it meant. I definitely don't want chamois then.

Can you take a look and tell me what the difference between these 2 are?

I use SportHill XC 3SP Pants. They run $100. But you can find then elsewhere cheaper. I got them for $46 at Sierra Trading Post. Campmor has them also. These are my #1 Winter cycling pants. They are comfortable down to the 'teens'. Anything lower and you might have to add a baselayer. Cabelas has good PolarFleece also.
