FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The base shell is 1.2-1.3 mm cowhide. It is drum-dyed and milled, so it feels soft but stays tough. You can also pick Monaco leather or kangaroo leather when you order. Kangaroo leather is thin and light for its strength. Cowhide is a bit heavier and very hard-wearing. All three come in the same red and white design. Each choice is hand-stitched and made to order by Leather Collection.
A one-piece suit has no waist zipper, so there is no gap between the jacket and the pants. Many track riders like that. The two-piece suit splits at the waist. Its pants close with silver snap buttons, and you can wear the jacket on its own. You can also order just the jacket or just the pants. If you like Honda suits from the late 1990s, look at the

The suit has removable CE Level 2 armor at the shoulders, elbows, knees and hips. These pads meet EN 1621-1:2012, the European standard for limb armor. A removable back protector sits along the spine. It is EN 1621-2 compatible. On the outside, replaceable TPU knee sliders take the wear in corners. You can take the armor out before you clean the suit. For more Honda kit, see the

range.
Wipe the suit with a soft, damp cloth after each ride. Let it dry at room temperature, away from heaters and strong sun. Take the armor out first so the lining can air out. Use a leather conditioner now and then to keep the cowhide soft. Hang the suit on a wide hanger in a cool, dry place. The leather care instructions give more tips.
