That depends on the quality of the leather jacket. Some are simply designer jackets with very thin leather offering very little protection in the event of a slide on the pavement. Others such as racing leathers are close to a quarter of an inch thick and offer some of the best protection available.

How to Make Your Biker Jackets Safer?
The occurrence of motorcycle-related accidents around the world is on a steady rise over the past decade. In the US alone, statistics for the year 2008 show that 14% of fatalities from road accidents involved motorcycle riders. It is therefore a life-saving precaution to wear proper motorcycle wear, especially your jacket. Here’s what you can do to make your biker jackets extra safe. 1. Enhance your leather jacket’s visibility at nighttime. Since most accidents happen at night due to poorer road visibility, it is a good idea to wear jackets that have reflective streaks of fabric with bright colors such as yellow or white. This in contrast to the commonly used leather biker jackets which are predominantly dark in color (black or brown). 2. In the absence of leather jackets with reflective streaks, use reflective adhesive tape that can be stuck or sewn onto visible areas of your jacket. 3. Use a battery-operated blinker in front and behind your jacket to act as your head and taillights. You can attach it directly using pins, or fasten using your belt. 4. Experiment on using synthetic leather jackets. Most of these types of biker jackets bear reflective material, which increase your visibility when in dark areas. A recent case study by British researchers shows that bike riders who wore such jackets help reduce the chances of being involved in an accident by 37%. 5. While accelerating, it is more advisable to wear a jacket that can be zipped instead of those that can be closed by using buttons. This is to avoid the wind from getting up your body. More than just bringing a stylish fashion statement and cool reputation, your biker jackets should, above all, also offer safety while you’re on the road. Remember that your jacket is the only one that stands in between your body and the road.
