Secondhand textiles

[junglie]

Good afternoon all,

I am interested in buying a set of textiles as I will be doing more touring this year and my leather's, although comfortable and hard wearing, are not waterproof. I thought about getting a synthetic trousers and jacket set (armoured) that I can use when on the VFR 800 (black - would be good to have something that not clash on other bikes though - how vain!). I know that BMW do a good line but I have not bought any kit for a long while and I am slightly out of the know - can anybody recommend a manufacturer to look for. I am 6' and medium build if that affects the advice. I don't really want to be spending 300 pounds plus if I can avoid it.

Thanks
