Bib tights (no pad) over regular non-bib shorts. I find that non-bib tights tend to sag because tension in the knees pulls down on the tights.

During warm weather I prefer bib shorts but when it's cold, I wear my non-bib shorts under non-bib, non-padded tights. Why? Because when it's cold enough to require tights, I need a lot of hot coffee to get me out of the door, which means that 20 or 30 minutes later I really have to go and it's just a lot easier that way.

I prefer bibs with the stirrups like one person here mentioned. I like bibs because they keep your tights pulled up rather than riding down and bunching up at the ankle. I did not think I would like the stirrup type but really do and wish I had more pair. I have a pair of fleece lined and they are great!

My thermflece tights are bib. My regular tights are non paded Perals that go over my shorts. In the cold, I prefer bibs. In the heat, the bib shorts feel much warmer, atcually too hot.

I live and die by my PowerStretch Fleece tights, warm and comfortable as a velvet glove. Did I say versatile too? At $ 37.00, I laughed all the way to my bank
