"It’s strong, and abrasion resistant." As a motorcyclist, I need to see a side-by-side abrasion resistance comparison. So far, nothing beats leather.

- gcb0 9y agotechnically toilet paper is "strong, abrasion resistant". But since they did not mention durability anywhere on the marketing speak, that means even their marketeer couldn't find a way to lie about durability qualities. Unfortunately nothing to see here :(
- jcims 9y agoYeah they didn’t really address that anywhere. I’m thinking it will be ok for fashion but not ppe.
- NovaS1X 9y agoI was going to make a similar post. I'd love a green alternative but so far I haven't found anything that performs or looks as good as genuine leather motorcycle jacket.
