I have the lighter weight Smittys. Without a doubt, they are MUCH more comfortable than the knickers. They are NOT hotter -- in fact, the opposite. They breathe a little better since they are 1) lighter and 2) away from the skin unlike most fitted knickers. Last night, I had to wear knickers and after 2 games last week with the pants, I HATED it. Keep in mind, its been hotter in Texas than usual, and hotter here than most other places.

I'll never wear knickers again.
