Duluth Flex Firehose pants are awesome! The gusseted crotch on most of their pants makes a huge difference. As far as all weather gear, nothing beats "Goretex"! But it can get expensive.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Any recommendations for 3-season long distance touring jacket and pants?

I have been well served by a First Gear Kilamanjaro jacket. Waterproof. Lots of pockets. OK ventilation.
I’ve had it ten or eleven years and it shows. But it's still waterproof.
I’ve updated its armor, washed it a couple times, and that’s it.
It is quite scruffy now, and a bit faded. If I buy a new jacket, I’ll look first at the Kilimanjaro (A friend swears by, not at, the Klim brand. I know Klim has an impressive guarantee.)
I ride year around out of Central Oregon and find using “Warm ‘n’ Safe” heated gear to be a game-changer (it's a dreadful product name, but GREAT products.)

I wear a Tourmaster Flex 3 Jacket and Tourmaster Ridgeline Pants with Forma Adventure Low Boots and Arai Full Face Helmet. The jacket is capable of going from a fully vented mesh jacket with armor to windproof/rain resistant with a minimal fuss. You can also zip in a thermal liner when needed, but I find I don't need to until the low 50's. That said, you still need to carry decent rain gear for truly wet weather riding. One hint, carry some nitril gloves with you. They pack in almost no space and I pull them over my gloves in wet weather to keep my gloves dry.
I've only had the boots a few months, so I can't speak long-term, but so far they've proven to be waterproof and comforable.
