The most suitable over trousers for commuting

"I think you'll be hard pressed to find a pair of waterproofs that won't cause a "boil in the bag" effect. I wear normal hiking waterproof trousers or rain legs which are good in light - medium rain but in heavy rain you get wet shins; http://www.rainlegs.co.uk/"

+ ANOTHER 1

do they still swish like a shellsuit?

My boss once told me I wouldn't have much chance of sneaking up on someone wearing them after he heard me walking down the corridor shortly after I arrived at work

When I 1st got into cycling last year that's what I did too adam,used all my golf gear like overtrousers,water-proof jacket etc,trouble is they are just not designed for cycling,pants were too short and too wide at the bottoms with no adjustment.Jackets were too heavy,with pockets at front which is not where you need them when on a bike.
Good for starters but you're much better off buying the right kit.

Ron hill bikesters.

+1. Excellent kit, but you may have to hunt a bit for them. The Ronhill tracksters are pretty much identical, apart from a higher cut back on the bikester and may be easier to find. The DXB ones are water resistant, too (but not waterproof). Dry in an hour, though.
