In todays law suit happy enironment, we should all be aware of product liability issues.

Hey Brian, I used to race motorcycles professionally and my guess is (what you have pictured) are leathers for motorcycle racing.
The only sports that come to mind where you wear full leather suits are motorcycle racing - MotoGP, superbikes etc. (not dirtbikes) and the crazy nuts that do "road luge" down steep hills on extra long skateboards.
Any sport that has a fire hazard typically requires Nomex racing suits, as well as supplemnental Nomex under gamrments, booties, gloves and helmet liners as part of the safety equipment requirements.
Personally, I wouldn't sweat it (unless actually wearing full leathers) :-)
My 2 cents.
