Does anyone wear a leather jacket when they go out camping? is there any real downsides to using an expensive leather jacket as one of your base layers?
i wear a cheezy old leather bomber a lot
it's great, warm and fairly breathable
but heavy

nice. i have a bomber with a nice fur lining that would be /comfy/ as fuck to wear, but I'm worried about moisture ruining it and also the weight. still, it feels like you're wearing protective armor and in the event of a cougar or bear attack, that layer of leather might save your life

is this better for you?

I was thinging more like this.

I couldn't imagine wearing mine, having gotten it as a younger punk kid and never being able to afford a new one its getting a tad tight. However makes for some badass photos.

For jackets I were while out I only use old jackets or ones from the charity shop. The other day I got an nice hunting jacket nearly new for only £4.

Do leather/denim jackets even have a purpose besides looking nice

Leather is actually pretty warm without turning you into a puffball

Its, soft, warm and tough.
Also waterproof if waxed correctly.
But if you wear it in Europe people will think you're a Turk or Syrian

Alaskan Bush People wear them and I can't think of anyone more extreme than those people.

Alaska used to be Russian clay, they've been corrupted by leftover Slav-fumes

They dress up like weirdos for the show. The dad's from a writer and the whole family lived in Haines before they pitched their reality show. Haines is small, but it ain't the "bush"
They spend their off-seasons in Hawaii, they rented a cow for the show, they're frequently seen staying at a local lodge during filming, etc. etc.
Tldr: The show's fake as shit
