Yes really good quality leathers are probably the ultimate in protection terms, however a good textile well armoured jacket is what I normally wear for the road along with leather jeans( I have a phobia about knee damage!)
I wear a leather jacket very rarely now and am trying to get away from the power ranger image. I have Hein Gericke and a beautiful Gore Tex IXS number, not a cheapo but a real Quality one. IXS is a Swiss company I believe and I've been really surprised by the quality og this jacket.
