All good advice, but I'd be more inclined to go for a 2 piece zip together suit.
If you're touring you'll be stopping at lots of places. A two piece is much more comfortable and socially accepted when off the bike. With a one piece you've got to pull the top part down and have it dangling around as you walk around.
With a two piece, if you need to you can take the jacket off, "chain" it to the bike and away ya trundle. Or just walk around with your jacket undone.
Use the jacket with Kevlar Jeans ( ala Draggin Jeans) and you can zap into the pub or restaurant without feeling "out of place"
Make sure they boots you buys are comfortable. Geez those kevlar coated boots with big ankle and toe protectors look good but geez they're uncomfortable to walk in and again, if you're going to the pub, a good set of "basic" black touring boots will be much more comfortable and "acceptable"
Something like a Buff is really handy, it packs up small but can be used as a neck scarf, face mask, helmet liner, beanie....... useful for both hot and cold weather and is comfortable to wear under your helmet.
You'll be touring not fanging.
Of course YMMV !
