How long do gloves last?

I have a Kevlar suit from Motoport. Pants always looked like a fart is trapped in them and the jacket makes me look like I’m carrying a spare tire. But I have tested the gear out and it slides quite well. Very easy to clean dries super quick when wet. Amazing on hot days or even cold days with liners, so despite how it looks, it’s my go to suit for long rides or spirited riding.

I can’t compare it to leather though because my leather suit never gets worn and has been sitting in the closet since I bought it.

Stretch or mesh? Yet another reason to join one of your epic rides. I've never seen one in person, just heard lots of good things.

Do you know if any Ontario track day organizers allow these suits instead of leather?

Kevlar is better than no kevlar. Still not as good as leather.

Textile are best for the street, leathers for the track.

Leather is best on the track as it slides more than textile. Tracks have room to slide and sliding gets the follow up riders some reaction time.

Textile suits stop faster, up to 30% faster. Makes them better on the road as you are less likely to use a curb or pole to bring you to a full stop.
