Personally I have no probs with my Belstaff Celcius Jacket - only available from Busters as they are the old top of the range jackets before the company was sold to an Italian Fashion House, and my Heine Gericke Cruise trousers.
Used this combo for three years now from -11C in central Europe to 38C and 95% humidity in Southern France.
At the end of the day it is fit and weather protection that counts and a good base layer , wicking for summer and thermal for winter. Fit of course is purely subjective and each garment fits everyone in different ways. i would never buy something I haven't tried on first.
As regards boots, as an all round and all weather rider I swear by my BMW Santiago boots... Bit pricer than the similar boots Oxtar put out under their own label , but with a two year no quibble warranty and everything breakable cheaply replaced from the BMW spares inventory , they are my fave boots.
In 18,000 miles in as many months I have only replaced a steel toe protector , and a pair and as they are stainless expected to pay big bucks. Nope less tha fiver for the pair and the fixing screws!
