Hypocrite? Though I think you mean pescetarian.
Here's a thread about some textile gear after a 70mph crash

I often find gloves are a bit long in the fingers for me and this has been mentioned about the motoport gloves. I might see if I can find a common reference point for sizing.

Leather does seem to glide more which on a track seems like a good thing, I don't know if you need it with lower energy crashes added to which if you slide to well on the road your likely to hit something. Maybe mythbusters should test throwing pigs off a pick up truck to see (so long as the pigs died of natural causes)
Whoah there, don't mess with the bacon, you need a few ISIS members instead.

the moto gp etc guys all go for leather so there must be something in it. shame us mortals cant afford them.
That's more to do with aerodynamics, and slide ability on a nice flat surface.
