I've had a couple of pairs of the standard blue 282s and I think they're pretty good. They're very dextrous for the warmth they provide and they keep the water out. However, they're not that breathable, so I was finding that they'd get wet inside after a while from sweat, and when wet the insulation doesn't seem to work very well. Since they're fairly cheap you could carry two or three pairs and swap through the day.
You do look like you're about to dissolve a body in acid when you're wearing them though.
