Motorcycle Jackets?

Faux-leather motorcycle jackets may be the move for east coast skiing and urban. Not great for powder I imagine but they are designed to fight road rash, so I imagine them holding up to crashes on icy-ass eastern slopes or concrete. Plus a lot of them come with armor (granted mostly on irrelevant places for skiiers like shoulders back and elbows) and look pretty hot, and are waterproof sometimes too. If someone sold a version with rib/flank armor I'm sure they would sell like hotcakes.

Jean jackets are way cooler, especially if they're covered in patches

motorcycle jackets are designed to protect you from turning into street pizza if you fall on asphalt. A bit overkill for snow imo, even if it's icy. I wouldn't wanna ski in mine when ski jacket/snowpant material/goretex/etc works just fine and is way lighter.

Yall are right about the weight and overkill etc but think about the style. If Daniel Hanka started wearing one (which he totally should), a ton of people would hop on board
