A good set of leathers will offer a very good level of protection but they need to be good so 3/4mm triple stitched in the right places with body armour. There is a lot of rubbish out there and price is no real indicator. For me, leather is for shoes, boots, gloves, belts, car seats, sofas and holding my tea together until I am ready for it. It's great that we now have an expanded choice of materials.
