    For what purpose?

    I have Assos one for TT'ing though they're damn useless in the rain (as i found out at the weeknd) and use Endura road ones the rest of the time, really toastie and totally waterproof
    You can lead an elephant to water but a pencil must be lead

    skip overshoes and get a pair of waterproof boots.

    ie Northwave Fahrneheit or shimano MW...

    Never need overshoes again and rarely get wet

    another vote for enduras, though it looks like you're going scuba diving when you put them on...

    The Ozzo ones are cheap and long lasting. Had a pair for 10 years and they are at last getting a bit ragged underneath.
    THe wear & tear overshoes get depends on how you cycle. If you put your foot down a lot, then they will get trashed quicker - track standing is useful
    Recipe: shave legs sparingly, rub in embrocation and drizzle with freshly squeezed baby oil.

    The PRO ones are really nice and come in different styles in terms of waterproof/water resistance. The PRO PU models are good. I would recommend getting ones that are totally open on the bottom and close with a velcro strap. this saves you tearing the bottom of the shoes around the cleat. BBB also do a good range.
