Most modern textile jackets are stronger than they used to be, I mainly wear my leather as I'm old school and will never turn away from it (either that or I just have a leather fetish :lol ) I do have a Richa textile jacket and it feels really padded and strong (bonus being that I got it for just £50 as it was an end of line product, originally it was going for about £150 ish) I tend to wear that one when it's really heavy rain as it seems to be more waterproof and it has a thick thermal interior to keep me warm, so in a heatwave like this I would be melting and extremely de-hydrated.
