Buying Guide: Leather vs Textile Jackets

[RidersDiscount]

 

Leather or textile? It's one of the most common rider questions and the debate goes on and on, but in the end there is no overall right choice, just a right choice for each rider. Choosing which material suits you best, is the most personal part of picking a motorcycle jacket. We know what you really want: a jacket that offers you the best in protection, comfort, and style. That's what makes the choice so personal, because you want your jacket to fit your own personal sense of style and riding. Can't decide which option is best for you? Don't worry, we won't leave you in the dust, we're here to help you weigh the pros and cons.

Mike, When I got home today there was a Riders Discount Box with a new Joe Rocket textile jacket in it. Thanks for the great deal. I've got a perforated leather Hein Gericke jacket but I think that this textile Joe Rocket is going to be my new "everyday" wear.
