David,
I really like a lot of the BMW gear. I think they sell high quality stuff that's very abrasion resistant. You could look at a local BMW dealer with good apparel inventory and check out the gear specials here, especially the Savanna 2 jacket at almost half price (they should zip nicely onto BMW pants):

Check out Daytona boots. I've been very happy with mine:

Held makes outstanding gloves. Don't scrimp here! I've also been impressed with what I've seen from BMW.
