Tights over shorts seems like more of a double layer of lycra than leg warmers and shorts. Also keep in mind that you may want those leg warmers late in the ride if the weather changes yet again. It's nice to have something you can easily roll up and sutff in your jersey pocket or something like a trunk bag. and put back on if conditions change.
I agree ... I'm having a bit of trouble imagining what jeneralist is talking about.
My leg warmers and shorts might overlap by a few inches sometimes when I've got the leg warmers pulled all the way up, but quite often I wear them so that there is no overlap.
