I am considering in purchasing some leather goods. I often hear about the benefits of wearing leather vs. textile material on bike gear. Does anyone have any suggestion to which is the best? best deal (bang for my buck)? I've seen some for under $600 to over $1000 but there are so many out there. A little strap for cash now so I'm currently saving up for next year. Also is there a season to wear leather? Any answers will help. Thank you all.:Lurking:
