Mid-weight, pad-less tights?

Morning all. My old DHB mid-weight tights have finally died after 6 years of service so I'm in the market for a new pair.
These are for days when its too warm for winter tights but not warm enough for shorts. I'll be commuting in them and so will have normal bib shorts on underneath so don't need a pad in the tights. Reduces the washing load and the number of pairs I need. I don't particularly like leg warmers and usually the ride is over before there's a wide swing in temperature.
I've been on the usual suspects websites but can't find anyone who does something to meet my criteria. Can any of you lot point me to something helpful?

You could go left field and get something like Nike running tights, etc. I used to wear these over bib shorts and they come in various weight options and are very good/reasonably priced (start at £25).0

The Howies Bib Tights are better for cooler but not cold weather. The only downside is they are £69 but off season they flog them off for £30 or so.

Thanks all, I'll have a look. Running tights don't tend to be bib tights, so not so good for longer rides.

hmm, they look like a good deal. I wonder how warm they are. I currently have some dhb roubaix padless bibtights which are wearable throughout the whole winter but they could be a bit warmer. It seems like the choice in padless tights is really limited.
edit: Comfort range 6-15c according to the specs. I think I'm after something a bit warmer but they look great for mid-weight tights.0 -
