You'd be better of with a lighter, more breathable tight with goretex overpants.

    I also probably wouldn't wear them biking for temperatures much warmer than 30 degrees. They're really quite warm.
    Ditto on the AmFibs- I can't wear them much above freezing without sweating to death.

    Yeah, I generally wear mine from 30-40F

    I have a nike storm fit rain trouser (I also have Amfibs and ditto the above) - they are water tight. All you still need is gaiters to keep water out of your shoes.
    It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.
