leather jackets

[jimgl3_imp]

Just to be clear, the armor is for impact resistance and the fabric is for abrasion resistance. It is relatively perilous to buy a lower quality leather jacket thinking that the armor will save your skin. Conversely, a heavy-duty leather jacket without armor will only provide minimal impact protection. I'm looking for that high-quality, sharp looking, leather jacket with D3O armor that I can afford. Until then, it's high-quality armored textile for me.

I can tell you from personal experience that there is very little impact resistance provided by CE armor. (broken collar bone) It does, however add a layer of plastic that acts like a frame slider does for your bike. Or if you have certain brands, you get a layer of titanium. I'm talking real world, not theory. 3 crashes on the racetrack and 2 on the street.
