I have a pair of cheap-o “wind pants” [nylon with zippers at the ankles] that have a company logo on them that I use over regular tights. They provide a certain amount of win protection and an extra layer to keep heat in. If I invested more in a good pair of athletic wind pants I suspect this set up would work even better.

 

One drawback – they are slick on the saddle so if you have to hold on tight with your knees, you may have an issue ;-)

The Wind Pros are rather expensive. About $110 after shipping. Yikes.

Has anybody tried using some sort of over pants over regular tights. Like Tuffrider Insulated Overpants

or Ariat Flurry?

Very funny you should mention this.  I ordered some yesterday, and like you, I

looked and looked and still wasn't too happy with what I ordered...but had to

have some.  JD's is notorious for being cold.

 

I got these from Dover : 
Item: Y1-3593 - Irideon® Power Stretch® 3-Season Breeches,

 

They are lined with fleece, but like you said, not waterproof...those puppies cost TOO much for me.  And these were $79.
