cliff,

non-leather cycle clothing i;ve seen is Fackelmann. I'm prety sure it
is made in Germany. It is constructed of 5 floating layers of polyamide
long fiber and has 3 times the abrasion resistance of leather and is
warmer. You can also throw it in your washer (try that with a leather
coat). A place that used to have it was BCW (Bavarian Cycle Works, Inc.
385 8th St., San Francisco, CA. 415-863-8884. Since you will be out
that way for the Frost shows it should be easy for you to get there.
