I don't know a lot about shoes and also don't know what Burly products cost but, as for keeping dry. I am in Los Angeles and am occasionally out in the rain when I work. Gotta love those El Ninos. Any way, I picked up a light weight but thoroughly water proof nylon set of Helly Hansen pants and jacket at Sports Chalet for $100 and have used it for years. Even in the most torrential downpours it keeps me dry. Helly Hansen products are made primarily for sailors. This is just my two cents. I'm no expert at this cycling stuff, which is why I come to this site.
