Default Fieldsheer leathers....
I currently have a Fieldsheer textile jacket that I love very much. It's definetly time to get myself some leathers and I've been doing a little research, trying to figure out where/who/what to get. I figured since I have the jacket and it's held up great all season, I might try to figure out if their leather is any kind of decent. Comments/opinions/suggestions welcome.

I believe the tensile/abrasion strength of textile is no match for leather, especially roo.

Teknic leathers, crashed tested, High_Revs approved.
