RE: Best Leathers?
I've heard nothing but good about Fox Creek Leather. When I get a new leather jacket, vest or if I ever decide to wear chaps that's where I'll shop without hesitation.
I admit I wear more armor/protective gear in cooler weather than I do when it's hot. In winter I'm geared up pretty good most of the time, including Draggin Jeans or something similar. Most of my gear for winterare textile jackets by Tourmaster cuzthey're WARM and waterproof, have removable liners, vents, etc. They're also well armored most of the time.
If you're looking for leather then be sure it's good quality HEAVY leather. Thisis a must if you want to avoid rash - thin leather will vanish quickly skidding along the asphalt at 70 mph.
