hello,
During my trip, i was travelling with this :
jacket BMW Touren, pants BMW Streetguard, boots BMW Kalahari (now called Savanna, really confortable but not as prootective compared to real cross/enduro boots), summer gloves BMW Rallye, winter gloves BMW Comfort : EXCELLENT.
After more than 2 years on the road, 70 000 kms, they are as new : very strong, very protective, no problem with cold weather or rain (goretex).
With hot weather, they became very hot, so in Bangkok, I had to buy Enduro style clothes.
With cold weather, under those bike clothes, I was using Patagonia underwear and fleece and Ullfrotté underwear (really excellent for very cold weather).
All this is a bit expensive, especially BMW clothes but everything has a price : think about it, it will be your clothes for the trip, and they last long :-)
happy travels
