Textile vs. Leather

[gvainfo]

List,

the german automobile(!) club did a comparison between leather and
textile protective gear. The result was that the absolute high-end of
textile gear could match with leather, but only "almost". The simulation
they did was a low-sider with a good amount of sliding on the asphalt.

I like the part where they tape the dummy on the bike :)
