I've got leather and textile and I think for versatility you can't go wrong with textile. I wear the Tourmaster Jett jacket and it has a liner for warmth but I can take it out for warmer days. It's waterproof and windproof. It also has all kinds of reflecting patches and stripes on it which is HUGE ...

Mr. chwilson0607, A cruiser bike is uncomfortable for long trips, any cruiser bike is harder to handle than any sport bike, the heavy steering on a cruiser bike will physicially wear you out and you have to fight a cruiser bike for it to handle.
