Yes — the perforation pattern creates airflow at speed. The leather is the same weight, but air moves through it instead of pinning against your shirt.
Are perforated vests less durable?
Slightly. The perforations create stress points in the leather, but a quality build still holds up to years of riding. They're not designed for heavy abrasion situations.
Can I wear a perforated vest in cold weather?
Not comfortably — the airflow that works in summer dumps body heat in cold weather. Switch to a solid leather vest for cold-weather riding.
Yes — the perforation is on the panels, not the patch areas. The back panel and front patch areas are still solid leather.
