Daughter: Dad, how come you don't have one of those sick helmets with the mirrored visors?Me:
Looks great!Just be careful at dusk!
If leather gets wet..Not good. Plus it is expensive for quality. Good old petroleum based jackets have taken over. The only leather "motorcycle" jackets are on the fashion runway.
My textile jacket is heavy especially once all the armour is installed. It isn't waterproof but it won't be ruined by water. It's also too damn hot to wear for 80% of the riding season season but I digress.

. And I assume for a MC jacket, the leather needs to be on the thick size for abrasion protection. .
I have two textile jackets and one leather. The textile ones are best for warm weather due to the humidity, they vent so well.But there's nothing like the snug fit of a good leather jacket IMHO. Only for Spring and Fall though.Man your 'accessory' budget must be going through the roof!
