Strictly speaking (in terms of theory) the value of leather is that when you hit the pavement, your body will slide, rather than tumble. Having a winter coat on top might add to tumbling action as the coat "catches" on pavement. On the other hand, it adds an extra layer of padding. Just thought I'd be nit-picky and point this out.

But it has large mesh panels, that make it unsuitable for winter so I just throw my old snowboarding coat on top of it. so I get all the protection of the jacket and the warmth of the liner of my snowboarding jacket and water-repellent outer shell. ------------------------------------------------- For all your SV needs: http://www.svrider.com To change your list settings or leave SV650-L, please visit http://www.hawkgt.com/sv650/lists.asp ------------------------------------------------- For all your SV needs: http://www.svrider.com To change your list settings or leave SV650-L, please visit http://www.hawkgt.com/sv650/lists.asp
