[RC] Riding Tights Questions - Val Nicoson

Will be getting myself a pair or two of Nylon/Lycra
riding tights.  Due to the sensitive, tender skin on
the inside of my knees I tend to get sores there. 
Have tried all kinds of padding when my friend finally
allowed me to use her cycling tights with stirrups. 
It worked!  No more sores!
Am finding it difficult to find any tights that have
stirrups.
Is it possible to find these?
How about with ankle zippers too rather than only the
elastic bands at the bottom?
Are there more than one weight of Nylon/Lycra blends? 

In the fall and spring have worn these under my riding
pants which has the knee patches.  
Not sure how they would work alone without being under
something else, especially come the hot and humid
summers we have here in the midwest.
Would they be too slick riding in a leather saddle
and/or with a sheepskin cover?  Haven't tried that yet
but need to.
Would they still provide the same "slickness" against
the skin (which is what is preventing my knees from
getting friction sores) if I wore them by themselves
with a knee and/or seat patch on them?
Thanks for the help with the shopping...this list is
sure helpful for asking questions :-)
Val
