The following does not sound very neutral to me, doesn't wikipedia have NPoV guidelines? "The purpose of using a hide backing appears to be little more than an attempt by manufacturers to justify the use of the word 'leather' as it is not exposed anywhere underneath its covering of polyurethane and contributes nothing to the look and feel of the end product." 99.240.128.108 (talk) 17:44, 2 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Good point. I removed the paragraph. -- Donald Albury 00:58, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

i reinstated the main point about it not really being leather and not allowed to be sold as such in some countries. The point that the hide backing used contributes nothing to the look and feel of the end product is valid and should remain. This gives a much more accurate description of what bicast really is.

for verification that "the hide backing contributes nothing to the look and feel of the end product" follow link 3 and examine the first photograph.--Nigelgomm (talk) 20:53, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
 * The opening sentence contains the passage, "...(also known as...split leather...) is a split leather...", which begs the question, "what is split leather?" You can't define something as itself because that is meaningless.  Searching for "split leather" redirects to this article.  Many people use "split leather" as a synonym for suede, which it apparently is not.  The intro should have a better explanation, or perhaps a link to a new article describing "split leather". 12.233.146.130 (talk) 01:03, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Just a point - I visited the site to see what the "PU" in PU Leather stood for. The article doesn't address that question. It seems like it should.68.205.152.174 (talk) 03:38, 30 December 2012 (UTC)Pat P
 * Added a note for clarification that 'PU leather' is short for 'polyurethane-leather' - just had to explain this to a friend who was confused while looking at this page.Ptrimby (talk) 21:31, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

It seems that few people that "PU leather" contains cow skin. Most people seem to think "PU leather" is artificial. Does "PU leather" indeed contain polyurethane AND cow skin (inner layer)? And if so, why such widespread nonsense on the subject (whereby it is articifial)?
