When choosing motorcycle clothing, you can opt for leather or textile. The main advantage of leather is its durability. This is also why they always use leather motorcycle clothing on the track. Due to this durability, the material feels somewhat stiffer and heavier. When riding, you literally experience the feeling of safety that leather provides.
Nowadays,
synthetic leather is also used. This is almost exclusively seen in motorcycle boots and shoes. There is also a combination of
leather and textile, but this is applied less often.
Leather is never waterproof, with a few exceptions. It does, however, block some rain (compare it to your own skin), but a leather jacket or pants generally do not have a waterproof membrane. This is why leather jackets and pants are mostly worn during the season when it is dry and the sun is shining.
To increase the comfort of wearing leather, we recommend moisture-regulating
motorccyle underwear This makes it much easier to put on and take off your leather motorcycle pants, and on the bike, you maintain your freedom of movement. If the temperatures rises, a leather jacket or pants may start to "stick" to your skin. A moisture-regulating thermal pant or shirt will help keep you cool and dry under your leather motorcycle outfit.
