People will still buy them... expensive will just mean less people can afford them. Like mentioned, some will go the distance to buy that very comfortable and expensive gear, especially if it does what it suppose to do.
In this case, it provides good protection in rain or shine. Comfort plays an important key too. Of course this is a sliding scale - how comfortable we want to be vs. how much we're willing to spend.
$1,500 is an expensive price to pay, but if you only have to spend it once instead of 3 times buying less expensive gears, why not? They add up.
Don't dismiss what people would do based on what you'd do. Some people will spend more than others, even when they make about the same amount of money. There's a priority level at play too here. This is the same reason why some people drive Camrys and Accords while others drive Mercedes, Acura, and Lexus.
From what I heard this special leather is expensive. BMW has a set of gear made on a similar material, called the Atlantis 4. I can tell you it's very comfortable to wear, keeps you warm, not too hot. And of course waterproof too. I got to wear one for a whole day straight, alternating between being inside and outside.
Gabe, thanks for your review.
