RE: leather jackets
Postoak, generally no with regards to the armor but there are exceptions. MotoGP riders wear leather racing suits with armor and air bags, the leather for slide abrasion resistance, the armor for impact protection and the air bags for severe impact protection.

Armor is fairly new in this motorcycling game while leather protection is 100 years old. Eventually I suspect most leather motorcycle jackets will have armor as well, especially the new European D30 armor that is soft and flexible until impact at which point it becomes hard like the armor you probably have.
