any extra layer is a layer of protection… my textile pants burned through as fast as my jeans did when I dragged them through an offramp (the pucks were out of place) had I crashed in them, I’m sure the textile would have melted to my skin. However, they are normally padded in impact zones which would help get you through a single crash, but id imagine they wouldnt be repairable like leather.

look at the reviews they have a bunch of people either complaining or saying the size was good lol.  
iirc my joe rocket leathers were spot on to my jean sizing
