So i went riding a few weeks ago and almost drowned it was so wet, but it was fun as it was warm rain.

But after yests cold cold rain made me think if i should just buy some Waterproofs.

What do ppl think about these:

I tend to boil in any waterproofs at this time of year so I usually avoid it. The stuff you've linked to would be fine for the colder months though.

Got the attack 3/4s and they're decent enough. Cost a lot for what they are, but undoubtedly dry - I was lucky in that I just got my kneepads under there, but those who don't have my pipe cleaner build probably won't be so lucky. A decent jacket is also very handy, but make sure you can fit it in your bag. Pain to wear all the time, but great on exposed stuff, so if you're at Cwmcarn I'd stick on at the fireroad before the moors as until that point you're fairly sheltered.

Sealskinz are absolutely worth it. Feet still toasty and dry last week after a total soaking. My trainers were wet through, but feet still dry, so if you only get one thing get those.
