+2if your riding on asphalt, especially a track, its a leather suit, no question. Thats what its made for. MX is for dirt.
skin of a beginner aint no different than the skin of a pro.do beginners even buy full leathers? Those things arnt cheap
My first bike cost me about $1000, I spent more than that in gear and it was worth every penny when I wrecked the bike 3 weeks later and skidded almost 75 feet across asphalt, gravel, sand, and grass finally into a tree. Walked away with a sore knee and that was it, would have been a LOT worse had I not been wearing helmet, jacket, etc.do beginners even buy full leathers? Those things arnt cheap
Yes you are correct, somewhat. They are wearing protective jackets with jerseys over but the protective jackets are made of leather. Also they are wearing leather pants.watching the x-games it looked like some guys were wearing protection jackets with mx jersey's over them.
Now i like the look of that, if I eat it and mess up the jacket I can just replace the jacket and not the pants. MX jersey's also look sick.Yes you are correct, somewhat.

a quality suit will hold up through a few offs atleast. in most cases you can if you have a two piece. If you like MX jersey's so much, just wear one over your jacket.Now i like the look of that, if I eat it and mess up the jacket I can just replace the jacket and not the pants.
