I am not clear - have you tried a single layer with padding? We are all different of course, but for me, any extra layer of anything chafes (sp?) badly.
I have only used Aerotech stuff and oddly enough have had no wear out issues. Some of my bike shorts have thousands of miles on them, especially the ones from when I started riding a lot and only had 1 or 2 pair.
Another observation about Aerotech - the different types of shorts/tights have completely different fits and protection from pain. Towards the end of the year last year, my favorite shorts were the more expensive 8 panel (IIRC) ones, the entry level ones were not good for 20+ mile rides. This season, I started a tick heavier and am now lighter than last year but the entry level seem the most comfortable for long rides.
