Tend to be a bit on the warm side in Summer.

Are they cooler than textiles, or warmer?

Depends on the conditions and the leathers.

Do leathers offer more protection than textiles?

Well you are not allowed to do a trackday in textiles - go figure the rest out

Are leathers comfy?

If they are comfy when you buy them they are probably too big, but once they wear in they are great.

I was thinking of the Alpinestars octane http://www.hein-gericke.co.uk/shop/p...oducts_id/3526
Is this a good choice?

Dunno, all mine are made to measure rather than off the shelf.

Thanks.

Hope those answers are of some help
