In 36-60deg F weather these over-shoes have kept my toes from freezing on descents (I get numb fingers and toes easily). They're small enough to store in my tail bag when things warm up and they slip on easily without issue.
As far as being waterproof, they're good enough for anything except the really wet days. If you're going over big puddles it seems that water can splash upwards into regular (summer) road shoes. On days with light rain, steady mist, and gentle showers they have been excellent and kept my feet dry.
I live in the Northwest and this jacket fails to disappoint, having now used this almost one full winter season. Breathes well, superior wind resistance, and warm. I've ridden in the low 30's with only a mid weight base layer underneath, once when raining and remained dry. Versatile. Love the side zippered pocket for valuables/phone. I've have other name brand winter jackets, but this is by far superior to them. Buy it. You won't be disappointed.

I've a majority of Castelli products and I know that they typically size small so order up. I'm a medium but normally order a large for Castelli. I ride now in the evening because the sun goes down sooner so wearing this into the night as temps begin to drop it keeps me warm and does the job it's supposed to for 50-60 temps Fahrenheit. This is pretty much a wind breaker that you can fold away which I put in my frame bag. And as ways Westernbikeworks always sends my orders pretty fast! Thanks guys!
