Cold knees causing problems

Quizmate

I'm attempting to keep cycling through the winter months and as the temperature drops my knees are suffering and consequently more prone to aches, pains and possible damage. I invested in a pair of Endura Endura Thermolite Pro padded Bib tights, but despite the double layer of fleece at the knee they're not to good going into single figure temperatures. Subsequently I bought some Endura Stealth Extreme Tights which claim to be waterproof / windproof and have a lovely fleece lining and should be good going into below zero temps. However having ridden in them and although they appear better than the bibs my knees still feel the cold at around 4 - 6 degrees C so I suspect problems will arise if it gets icy. Does anyone have any good advice about how to keep the knees warm in tights, or any winter knee care wisdom generally? Advice on what might be the best winter tights would be welcome too if anyone has any?

Multiple layers - put knee warmers under your tights.

Plus one for knee warmers under tights, although it may feel a wee bit restrictive.

Also some of the stuff at the internet link below helps keep the cold out:

+1 on that.

I tend to not mind my lower legs getting colder but too like you have issues if I let my knees get to cold so I do wear knee warmers with 3/4 shorts often and it seems to work out pretty well for me.

Thanks everyone for helping with this. Warming balm and knee warmers under tights it is then! Happy New Year!
