Because of its sturdy exterior and the way it ages with time and use, leather has been a classic staple for motorcycle-related items. Before synthetic materials were available to increase safety and comfort while riding, many companies used leather materials for almost all of their different accessories or pieces of riding wear. Leather-made goods became so synonymous with bikers that even non-wearable items have used it as fashionable accents or to match what a motorcyclist would be wearing.

In response to interest and demand for synthetic items to match the function and fashion of leather goods, many companies experimented with making new fabrics and materials that could stand up to the rigorous needs of performance. As manufacturers have made countless improvements on the raw materials used to make motorcycle gear heat-resistant, waterproof, and protective, non-leather alternatives have become more accessible.
