    Anyone have any good recommendations for overshoes? I'm looking for something fairly decent, waterproof and warm are my main priorities.

    I got some thin rubbery Specialized overshoes from Cycleways at the weekend.

    They're not lined or insulated as such, but are windproof and the water runs off them fine. They've got a more closed design on the underneath than those BBB ones, which I preferred.

    Sizing can be odd. I needed XL although I'm only a size 9.

    I have Altura Reflex (€50) and brillant for keeping your wee toes from the cold and have a very good reflective stripe on the sides. The hole for the cleat isn't very good though. Also have a pair of the BBB ones are pretty good, infact for the money if was shopping for some again I'd probably get these.

    Adidas Ones .. Wheeworx in clondalkin recommended them over the BBB. They are great. Toasty warm feet.

    Yeah i got XXL ones that were so tight I had to leave them on my cycling shoes permanently, eventually the seams gave up because they were so bloody tight.

    Anyone in here a size 11 and could recommend something that can be put on and taken off easily enough?

    ditto, keep you warm and dry;) and I'm size 11 too, BBB Waterflex come in shoe sizing rather than L, XL etc.
