I know everyone is always saying "get leather instead of textile", and as many of you may or may not know i'm a fairly new rider and I've only had a textile jacket, up until yesterday....and Holy Jeeze, the difference is worlds beyond. I ended up getting a discontinued icon leather with full armor (elbow, shoulder, spine) for 130. I put the leather on, then the textile to compare....Jeeze, im sold. granted this isn't about pants, but im sure the same carries over

I have three textile jackets that came with my bike I bought my leather and have never been tempted to put on textile again. Hot or cold.

I can see why, I just had it on for my first ride tonight, you can tell it needs to break in a little, but I felt much more protected out there. My textile felt good, but theres no comparison. Now my buddies are getting them. lol
