For 20F for 6ish miles, one way...need two layers of thermal tights, and windbreaker pants....still not warm enough when it gets much colder. Hence the thought about ski-pants or the like.
I'm curious to know where your cold spots are? I wear a similar gear set, UA tights under wind breaker slacks. But I'll also wear a standard pair of summer padded shorts under the slacks as well. Usually my sit bones start getting cold first around 20°f but everything else is fine.
