What goes over the top of the waders to stop the ingress?

Chest waders obviously, none of this thigh nonsense!

Chest waders still let water in...... you need an immersion suit:

A couple of years ago, at a rainy red light somewhere in Chelsea, I stopped next to a guy with a grubby construction industry HiViz jacket and shorts. His feet were covered by a pair of Lidl carrier bags duct-taped at the top to his very hairy calves. Genius!

Your picture - and the humour behind it - is what the internet was designed for. Huge laughs - many thanks. I think that image will there every time it rains this winter.

A carrier bag under your helmet will stop your head getting wet aswell .

Tried that, nearly choked me honking uphill.

Saddest thing is that I have actually worn one... although not for cycling!

When I was (much) younger I used to be chucked over the side of a boat whichthen used to disappear over the horizon and wait to be rescued by either a lifeboat or helicopter!

That is when you really learn to trust your colleagues

I find that wearing waist high waders does the job of stopping water going over the top of overshoes. Sadly yet to find waders with cleat bolts though...

Did you get these one's in the end ?
