    WMB swear by the Endura Spray ones with just the waterproof arse panel. I've never seen the point really though. I've got one of these for when it's raining

    Another vote for the Endura Sprays . I just got a pair and they are great and keep off the spray from the trails which is what I was bothered about most. If its raining I am resigned to the fact I will get wet.

    Good article here:

    Endura Sprays are OK for keeping you rear dry when riding through water but your front will get wet when it rains. I'd get something with a good DWR coating and is still brreathable. Anything with a membrane will make you sweat, just like a jacket.

    Gore ones are the best I've used (also had Endura and Altura ones), they're actually very breathable
