I was thinking of the Alpinestars octane http://www.hein-gericke.co.uk/shop/p...oducts_id/3526
Is this a good choice?

I think most textiles tend to be warmer because they are designed to be worn in cold/wet weather, but I don't have a great deal of textile experience (only bought a set last year).
That set of leathers, in terms of quality, should be fine - I think I have a predecessor of that suit, it's 3 years old now. Fit is important though, so you probably want to try them first...
