Riding Gear

As the time goes by so does the way we outfit ourselves to ride. Traditional riding apparel is being challenged by the new textile garments. With the majority of our leather industry being forced out of the country(US), the quality of leather products is a 50/50 proposition. Now more than ever room for quality textile gear has grown. Personally I still wear my leathers, but as I ride I see more and more textile gear on our fellow riders. The functionality of both apparel for protection is becoming a very even playing field. So I ask this Question, is textile gear more comfortable or is leathers, is the quality better for one then the other? In coming post I will be doing a little more investigating on my rides and some research from some manufactures to figure this out.
