FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The standard suit is made from 1.2-1.3 mm cowhide. It is drum-dyed, so the red color goes through the hide, and milled to make it softer. Cowhide this thick holds up well to scrapes in a slide. When you order, you can switch to Monaco or kangaroo leather instead. Kangaroo leather is thinner and lighter than cowhide. Every suit is hand-stitched and made to order.
The suit has removable CE Level 2 armor at the shoulders, elbows, knees and hips. This armor meets EN 1621-1:2012. A removable back protector is EN 1621-2 compatible. On the outside, replaceable TPU knee sliders protect the leather when your knee touches the track. You can take the armor out to clean the suit. You can also add a speed hump behind the neck.

Wipe the suit with a damp cloth after each ride to remove bugs and dirt. Take out the armor and let the suit dry at room temperature, away from heat. Rub in a little leather conditioner every few months to keep the cowhide soft. Hang the suit on a wide hanger in a cool, dry place. Check the knee sliders and swap them when they wear thin. The leather care instructions give more tips.
