FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the cowhide leather thickness, and why does it matter for racing?

The Ben Spies MotoGP suit uses 1.2–1.3 mm drum-dyed milled cowhide leather — the same thickness range as professional race suits. This thickness provides optimal abrasion resistance during high-speed slides while maintaining flexibility for cornering and acceleration. Thinner leather (under 1.0 mm) offers less protection; thicker leather (over 1.5 mm) can restrict movement. The drum-dyed and milled finish enhances durability and water resistance without adding weight. Hand-stitched made-to-order construction since 2009 ensures every seam is reinforced at critical stress zones.

How does the made-to-measure custom sizing process work?

Select Custom Size from the product options Size, complete the checkout process. Submit your body measurements via the measurement form using your order number; suit ships in 4–6 weeks from spec confirmation. Standard sizes (EU 42–60 / US 32–50 for men; EU 38–50 / US 6–18 for women) ship in 10–15 working days. Custom sizing ensures the Ben Spies suit fits your exact body dimensions for maximum comfort and protection during track riding. We measure chest, waist, sleeve length, inseam, and shoulder width to create a race-grade fit matched to your riding position.

What EN 1621 certifications does this MotoGP racing suit have?

The Ben Spies Yamaha MotoGP 2012 suit features EN 1621-1:2012 certified removable dual-density armor at the shoulders, elbows, knees, and hips. The removable spine protector is EN 1621-2 compatible, providing additional back protection during crashes. These certifications meet professional race-suit safety standards and ensure armor absorbs and distributes impact energy effectively. The armor is removable, allowing you to customize protection density or replace worn pieces. External TPU-reinforced metal protectors on shoulders and knees add an extra impact-dissipation layer for maximum crash protection.

Is this Ben Spies suit a documented 2012 MotoGP replica?

Yes, the Ben Spies MotoGP Racing Suit is a documented replica of his 2012 Yamaha MotoGP season livery. The blue and white colorway matches the authentic 2012 race suit, and the construction reflects the race-grade standards of that era — 1.2–1.3 mm cowhide leather, pre-curved sleeves for riding position, accordion stretch panels, and EN 1621-certified armor. Ben Spies raced for Yamaha Factory Racing in 2012, and this suit captures that season's design and protection spec. It is not an official Yamaha or MotoGP product, but an inspired replica built to match documented race-suit standards from that championship season.

Can I upgrade the leather to kangaroo, and what are the benefits?

Yes, kangaroo leather is available as an upgrade option. Kangaroo leather is lighter and offers higher tensile strength per unit weight than cowhide, meaning it resists tearing and puncturing with less bulk. Professional race riders often choose kangaroo for extended track days or high-speed racing because it provides superior abrasion resistance without restricting movement. The Ben Spies suit ships with cowhide as the default, but you can select kangaroo or Monaco leather from the Leather upgrade options during checkout. Kangaroo suits cost more but deliver enhanced durability and a race-grade feel. Standard lead time applies to leather upgrades.
