I'm working on accumulating the proper gear and have some tough choices. I've done a fair amount of research but am torn between getting full on leather and textile jacket and pants. If money were no object, I would get both. As it is, I can't spend that much so I want the best overall usability. I am leaning leather simply for the fact that it's the highest level of protection, I could use it for track days, and leather just rules. But I'm concerned that even with the thermal liner out of the jacket, it will be too hot for summer. Same for pants.

Thoughts?
