Are the arm pads vinyl or leather on the 'highly adjustable' Aeron?

They are definitely not leather. I can't tell if they're absolutely vinyl, either

The arms are not leather and not vinyl. They are covered with a man made foam-like material.

I'm not sure what the reference to "fixed arms" is but I purchased a set of these for my 1999 Aeron chair, which has arms that can be adjusted in height and rotate in and out (3 positions) and they were an exact replacement. (Except that they looked much better than my old, well worn arm rests.)

Vinyl/leather but the top is padded and it can store things or fold up. its very nice.

Leather pads, I believe Sony themselves sells replacement pads but there are other pads you can put in from other Manufacturers

The tops of the arm rests are padded in a slightly textured spongey rubbery material. They are still quite hard. The arms are comfortable and non abrasive. I normally rest my arms on my desk so I may not be the best person to ask and can't really comment on using the arms rests for long periods of time

It is "faux leather" or pleather/fake leather. It's probably better than leather durability wise. My old ikea chair is kinda losing part of it's surface... I literally just assembled mine. Loving it. Will have a review video up on youtube soon and a review here on amazon. I'm definitely satisfied :) It may suffer from "sweaty back syndrome" under the right conditions. There are mesh versions of DX racer on their website for about $350. I'm sure amazon has them floating around as well.

Hi..honestly, I'm not exactly sure but I do not think it's leather. I'm sure it's vinyl. Does it matter what the outside is? I absolutely love mine!

They are plastic (engineered polymer) with a firm structure and a reasonably soft nonporous surface. While the adjustable arms are an option on the chair, my recollection is that option is part of the "fully featured" chair. I bought the chair for my wife, and she LOVES it.

Breathable material, shoulder harness pads built into rear padding, a slight bit of memory foam over the normal pad and removable cup holder. different color options too. was a small price difference but was worth it when I bought mine

It's plastic and fake leather, but they are super comfortable and very sturdy. Unless you are sold on the looks I would recommend the Aurvana Gold as it is much cheaper and sound wise essentially identical. I had both for a short time and I ended keeping the Gold over the Platinum.

Both sides are plastic. There's a rubbery pad attached to the wrist rest which you put the double sided plastic pad on.

I don't know of anywhere you can get these specific parts (comes with this set being so cheap) but you can get upgraded pads for less than a replacement set of these. http://www.amazon.com/VisionTech-Multi-Deluxe-Plates-Velcro/dp/B005U60ODW/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1377029038&sr=8-10&keywords=aero+bars+pads
