I can comment on the helmet. I use a Shoei J-Cruise 3/4 helmet. Pricey, but great wind and nose isolation. It also has a drop down sun screen behind the large face shield.
You can also look at the new Scorpion EXO220 3/4 helmet.
I will be buying one of those for my wife, as soon as I can find one in her size to try on.
