Bringing this thread to life.
I have been asking myself the same guestion for the last couple of months and have been doing research untill my head was spinning! I need some input on this one.
My main goal/issue is safety/protection. So far I have been thinking of gear without liners or gore-tex to have as much airflow as possible for the tropics and to wear (casual) clothing underneed when cold. I'm thinking of using a rainsuit (frogg toggs).
Jacket and pants when I stretch my budget: Klim (traverse/lattitude/dakar), motoport (ultra 2 stretch/mesh), aerostich (darien), bmw (rallye 3), etc.
Jackets and pants that I'm curious about if it would be worth the $$$$$$$$: clover (tekno) and rukka (armas)
Armor; D3o, T-pro, etc.
Boots: sidi crossfire or adventure.
I will be starting my trip in the USA so I will be able to buy the needed gear in the US or in Holland.
I know that there will not be one answer but all info will be appreciated.
