Last season I switched to the McDavid hexpad tights, which I like because of the thigh coverage.
You know, I find the McDavid tights wear/wash well for a few years, and then they just all of a sudden, fall apart when they reach the end of their service life (kind of like a car that goes out of warranty). Really strange, but I am very happy with their products.

Geez, SAump, ya trying to bankrupt the kid? Socks, sliders, braces.... Just buy the tights and be done with it. But wear something, the chaffing can be awful.
MLB umpires wear long johns even on the hot days. The sweat collects in the fabric and cools. As the body moves the cool moisture rubs against the legs.
I bought the UA cold wear a few years back but it doesn't stop the wind like ljs.
