Both have their place. Textile for me because I feel not being compromised by hypothermia makes me safer than another 5mph worth of abrasion resistance...
Yup this is true my textil jackets a bit shredded but still does the job. Leathers are still in a really good state (from a much worse crash), almost completely unnoticeable damage.
I'm hoping my back protector will still do it's job.
