You can wear Draggin all year? As for boots, I've only got a pair of Sidis and come rain (sleet, drizzle, downpour...) or shine they're fine.

The only thing that may get changed come winter is the leather jacket for a textile and inner and the jeans / leathers to textile over trousers if really wet.

Don't think I've got enough space for a full summer winter wardrobe.

Are you near any smaller bike shops? they may have old stock of textile trousers in that are going fairly cheap. Bike shows are another good thing for that, too*, if there are any going on that you're aware of. I got a pair of winter trousers for £40, which are testicle-boilingly hot in the summer, and perfect in the winter. They're pretty well armoured, too: hips and knees, with reinforced stitching and various extra bits around the crotch.

Someone on bcf told me to look on ebay for textiles. Only been looking at hein gericke and they are to be had for around 30 quid and thats with tags on and not through the reject seller either.
