Posts: A lot.
I've been down at slow speed with a textile jacket. Never again. I have two leather jackets and a pair of leather pants. I haven't been down in my leathers but I know they will protect me better than any textile I can afford. Perforated leather will work just fine in the summer. When it's hot, it's hot. Textile or leather. I'd rather sweat than bleed.

Plus I find my leather jackets to be more comfortable than any textile I've owned or tried on before. Good quality leather will break in nicely and feel like a second skin. Won't flap around when riding like some textile jackets.
