Are leathers or gor-tex better for motorcycle clothing?
On August - 9 - 2010
I’ve just bought a bike and am wondering whether to get full leathers or to get Gor-tex? Has anyone got any recommendations from experience? Thanks 
For day to day travel then use gore-tex, on warm days you can remove the liners but you at least know that if it rains then you will stay dry. Most gore-tex outfits tend to have more basic armor than leathers as well in the shoulders and forearms. If you are just getting a bike for good weekend weather then I’d opt for the leathers …. or do as I did and buy both 
You dont want to be racing in Gore-tex.
Full one piece leathers (pref Kangaroo) with full body armour (pref kevlar)
if your talking about normal road riding try asking in the
cars & transportation > Motorcycles section.
