I think it really depends on what winter means in your area. Winter in Atlanta is a lot different than winter in Chicago.
I love leather, grew up wearing leather when I rode (and still wear it occasionally), but like LR find about 45 degrees to be the lower limit on leather, and about 85 the upper limit. In addition unless you get the expensive water proof leather, it gets very wet in a rainstorm, soaks through, gets very heavy, and takes a lonnngg time to dry out.
Leather one pieces are generally made for racing and are a thinner leather than most street duty leather jackets.
