Been using the Dainese Goretex gear for a while now and it's been fine. One thing that is diffuicult to decide is what choice for a long trip when you might experience weather changes. I prefer to wear leathers and carry an oversuit if touring in the summer but maybe this time of year, in this country, you are unlikely to get overheated in textile gear.
Like most things its best to have all the options really, overall you'd have to say that textile gives the best protection against bad weather. If that is your main priority.
Not trying to hijack your thread Mav or to put myself forward as any touring "guru" just a few observations.
