I found a pair of old wool trousers for $3 at a thrift store and modified them into 'knicks' (solves the problems several of the other posters describe) and they're fantastic for temps in the 10-35 range when paired with long wool socks. Any warmer than 40 and they're too warm, below 10 degrees I add tights underneath.
