I have a pair of core cargos that I've had for about 18 months and a pair of 'regular' core bibs that are about a year old. I had another pair prior to that, which were also about a year old when I tore them to shreds in a crash. Have had no quality issues with them at all and (as far as I'm aware...) they haven't gone see-through on the bum, which seems to be a common complaint.
Warmth-wise, I would say they're on the warmer end of the spectrum of 'regular' bib shorts - they're relatively thick. Have worn them in <10c weather with leg warmers and my thighs and bum have survived.
However, I did just get a pair of Castelli Free Aero Race 4 shorts on Wiggle for £100 and they are noticeably better than the Rapha ones, for less money.
Edit: You asked about tights not shorts. Ignore half of what I said.

I'm not looking for deep winter warmth
Leg warmers then? Cheaper, better fit, can be worn with regular bibs or winter bibs...

I had the core bib for over a year now and they are becoming see through at the booty area. Pretty disappointed as my classic short at almost 5 years old and still going strong. I also have a pair of the la passione club bibs and they have been miles comfortable and not see through at all

Any views on the quality and warmth of the Core bib tights (£110) compared to Le Col entry level or La Passione entry level both of which are a little more but? I'm not looking for deep winter warmth as I have the padless winter tights for then...
