Not exactly on topic perhaps, but I am needing some new 'leathers' and wondered what people prefered, leather or synthetic and what brand and supplier was prefered?

Thanks
 
Leather. At least 1.4mm thick and double padding on contact points (elbows, knees, hips, etc.)
 
Many thanks for the answers, it seems leather is the unanimous choice.

I agree BuddhaBuell better anything than my flesh, I was just wondering about the synthetic, specifically Kevlar, fabrics. As a rock climber I know how tough and abrasion resistant Kevlar slings are and wondered if that quality carried over to bike gear.

Leather it is and many thanks for the recommendations!
