The sun deflector on the helmet was great againts sun (oh really?!) and huge flying grasshoppers. Bought some extra sun reflecting goggles in Spain. Sundown was impossible to ride in otherwise. Neoprene gloves are good for rainy or hot weather but have limited crash protection compared to full leather ones. The ones I had did the job good though. Lots of wide pockets, extra reinforced knees and butt and with removable inner thermo pants. What more to ask for? The alpinestars vector were alot more ventilated and cooler than I first thought them to be. And they did the job protecting my feet and ancles when I fell off in the sand. Bought some nice smelling herbs in Morocco to put in them when I wasnt using them.
