I've had my gore-tex Hein Gericke jacket for 11 years, done well over 200,000 miles in it and it has leaked once at the belly when I didn't do the storm flap up properly! That jackets seen some horrible monsoons too. It's on it's last legs now, but I can't bear to part with it even though it's stinking and filthy despite several washes.
My pants are aerostitch AD1 gore tex imported from the US. Had em for 3 years, can't fault them. I'll be replacing my jacket with an Aerostich darrien jacket, worth every penny.
My winter boots are H-G tuareg rally, again in gore tex. Never leaked in 10 years and similar mileage, again they're coming to the end of their life and I can't near to part with them. Replacement will be Altberg clubmans
As for gloves, just fit fleece muffs and wear summer gloves, I got tired of spending a fortune on winter gloves, and this is what I found best for me.
