A fairly Compelling Leathers vs Synthetic Safety Gear Test

[sugilite:Me]

I like a lot of Ryans Videos, for the production values alone. The below comparison video was an eye opener for me. I don't have synthetic safety gear, and won't be ordering any after watching this.

Meh! When are you EVER going to be doing a slide like that tho? The synthetic stuff is arguably more comfortable, esp in summer, and will dry out super quick after a good dousing. I have both, prefer to wear leather but it is just not always practical.
That was a great video tho for sure!😆

I was wearing synthetic today. I'm very conflicted as a racer .

So it is ok, I'm wearing an air vest below.

But it's not leather. Geez I've fallen off enough racing to realise how resultant it is. Geez.

I think synthetic wearers would be surprised how shit it is.

I wear knee and elbow armour below.b
