Correct answer
Motorcycle protective clothing with abrasion resistance and appropriate impact protection.
Motorcycle protective clothing that fits properly, resists abrasion and includes protection at impact areas. It may use leather or technical textile materials: material alone does not guarantee protection. Check its performance, fit and condition. Waterproofing and thermal insulation depend on the garment, not on it being any leather suit, and no clothing eliminates all injuries.
