I have some neoprene ones (Endura) that are fine when it's consistently wet but for changeable days I could do with something that can breathe. Still showerproof but won't leave my damp due to lack of breathability.

Do they exist? I guess some of the goretex ones are a place to start?

    i'd recommend those as well. they won't stop a lot of water but are showerproof and if you put eg a Prendas oversock underneath you'll get a bit more insulation/protection without bulky socks

    nice one. Is the sizing accurate, in your experience?

    Lusso Max Repel get my vote, used them for years. They won't keep lots of water out but keep your shoes clean and are decent protection from road spray, breath well and are windproof to (also roll-up small if you just want something for cold mornings and pocket them later).

    cheers Andy. I'm a 45 Specialized MTB shoe, so I'm thinking 45/46 XL...?

    I'd not get goretex overshoes. My mates had them - they fell apart and didn't breathe very well. If its just to keep the chill off - just use oversocks ? A lot cheaper.
