    Having said that neither one of them is better than leathers.
    But worth a pair for the mid-summer 50kph cruise to the coffee shop or pub? I've been considering a pair for this purpose .....

    i concluded that they are ok for that purpose, if ya wanna be extra cautious throw some armour on underneath.
    hey if you come off, either on a short trip or a long one, its still gonna hurt lol

    Yeah, I still reckon leathers the way to go for open road riding.
    Synthetics are generally one shot slides down the road and toss them at the end. I've seen the odd off and synthetics didn't look to hot and there were some nasty grazes as well. In fact, after an off, most people in synthetics look like they just crawled out of a rag bag.

    When I've been out shooting, I've seen beefers sliding and rolling down rocky slopes, dissapearing through barb wire fences and still running and carrying on like sliding around in a thick skin is real cool fun.

    So, if it's good enough for them and they survive in some real harsh environments, I reckon when you hit the asphalt file, you wanna good layer of that beef skin hanging around your bod.
    If the destination is more important than the journey you aint a biker.

    by the looks of the poll, more ppl either havent tried em or like em compared to leathers this has been very educational

    You may probably find that those who like them and use them, have not tried leathers, or if they have tried leathers, find them a bit hot and therefore prefer to wear the draggins, or perhaps could afford draggins but not leathers or .....
