Leather as well - kangaroo leather was rather prized in the motorcycle community for being more abrasion-resistant per thickness/weight than cow-hide leather. I think its popularity has somewhat fallen off but I believe it's still the most performant material.
- abracadaniel 3y agoSame for whips as I recall. Niche use cases, but it’s apparently much better than others.
- reaperman 3y agoHmm, I wonder which material properties contribute the most benefit to that application. "Abrasion resistance per weight/thickness" seems like it would be somewhat lower on the scale for whips than it is for motorcycle rider protection.
