High-vis is only of limited effect and in particular circumstances. If hi-vis is all that stands between you and a funeral, then you are doing something wrong.
I work on the roads, where my safety is based on fact, not perceived wisdom.
Overshoes won't keep your feet dry, they will keep them warm when wet: just like a wetsuit, which is also made of neoprene.
My priorities would be to keep my extremities warm and dry: boots and gloves.
"Oh, and a Buff. Always a Buff."
"The roads are fast country roads and unlit. I want to commute all weather"
No high-vis or overshoes? Your funeral / wet feet then...
If those are the last things you'd buy, what would be the first, apart from what they already mentioned?
