I'm a commuter so I don't want to arrive at work and everyone can tell how its hanging. I've discovered that my Cutter Knickerbocker shorts are good to about 40F and past that I should cover my calves. - http://www.realcyclist.com/roadbike/Cutter-Tech-Knickerbocker-Mens/CUT0029M.html

For serious cold I wear the Endura Tech-Pant with wool or fleece tights - http://www.endura.co.uk/Product.aspx?dept_id=133&prod_id=31

I'm looking for a midweight pant to cover approximately from 40F - 20F. Any favorites?

I could also be convinced that warmer tights aren't the nut huggers that other cycling shorts and pants can be.

I use Sporthill ATV Cross Country Ski Pants, they are good into the 20's by themselves. Windproof and full of warm comfy goodness. They rock!

I wear just regular pants, but usually not jeans. Yesterday I wore a pair of cotton twill wrangler carpenter pants in 35F. Sometimes I wear poly track pants (runner's pants) but never anything special.
