i already posted personally to the person asking about a good
replacement for non-leather jackets.  (i agree with denim), but
i also read the posting by the person who said he also used 
a nylon jacket.  

for those of you who care, we learned in the motorcycle rider
course that nylon was definitely the worst thing to wear while
biking because if you take a spill and slide along, the friction
will meld the nylon to your skin.  my aunt, an emergency room
nurse, also verified that she has seen this, (among other things
we riders don't like to think about).

so, for those of you who know that an accident is not necessarily
going to be your fault, i would definitely *not* recommend nylon
as an alternative.

safe riding ...
