BTW - first hand experience sucks to have. It's cost a lot of money (replaced bikes and gear)....

Again, textiles are fine for NORMAL riding on the STREET. They are not acceptable for track, and I prefer to wear my leather gear when I go to the mtns also. Of course, that's spirited riding.

Also, I've only been referring to name-brand textiles - not Ebay, Thai-made, off-brand crap.
