The point of the hardened leather armor is basically to give the ability for players that are fairly developed, but not able to access metal, to create some better armor with a little time and effort. Adding the stat bonuses encourages its use while making it debuff stats will make almost no one wear it. so -1 to that.
-1 on the whip comment, there needs to be more weapons for people without melee but I don't like the idea of adding whips.
