If you crash on a motorcycle, which type of material will protect your body best?
Correct answer: Leather or durable synthetic material.
Answer options
- AWool, such as a knit sweater
- BDenim, such as everyday jeans
- CLeather or durable synthetic material Correct
Why
Leather resists scraping on pavement better than any everyday fabric, and well-made synthetic riding materials such as Cordura or Kevlar also hold up well. Denim and wool tear through quickly in a slide, leaving the skin exposed.
