| mesh vs textile vs leather I got MotoGP leather/textile that I got from Plaistow Powersports when I bought my bike. I took a dump last fall and I am impressed with the quality of the armor.
The Grid pants took a wicked beating and the only thing I had to show was a quarter sized bruise from the zipper handle from the right front pocket sticking straight out and punching down on my skin. It tore off.
The knees were really banged up and scuffed but I had no pain or bruising there. My only pain was from the collar bone joints from banging the shoulder on the pavement. It was months before that went away.
MotoGP is really good stuff! |
