Recommend me some leg warmers. Got nice quality pairs of bibs already so I don't want tights. Would like them to be water resistant. Around £20ish would also be good.

Some of these are reasonably priced. I like Gore but not their prices!

I bought some funkier ones from Merlin for £17. They dont slip down and on a very wet ride recently they kept me quite warm considering.

Got some Sportful NoRain ones. Only used them on the road bike but they've been great. Fleecy fabric on the inside and they do a pretty decent job of repelling water for a thicker leg warmer. Quite similar to the Castelli Nanoflex ones. Bit over budget, 30 quid from wiggle. And they are quite warm so it does need to be properly cold out. If you want something lighter weight then the craft ones mentioned above are good too.

Specialized. Surprisingly good, actually. Good fit, warm and fleecy but not roasting, don't slip and have taken a beating - I've worn them nearly every day for a couple of months and washed them loads and they're still good as new.

+1 for the Sportful NoRain - really rather good

The Morvelo ones look the business but I don't have them so don't know how well they work.

Another +1 for sportful no rain. Bought arm warmers last year, this year I got the leg warmers.

Lots of options cheers all. Whats the sizing like on the no rain ones? Probike shop only have S or XL. I'm 5'9" is XL going to be stupid big?

I'm 6 foot with a 34" inside leg. The medium is fine for me.
