Davies and the 2020 season

What to check on a race-style jacket
- Class marking: EN 17092 sorts garments into Class AAA, AA, A, B and C, with AAA the highest (MCG explanation of EN 17092 classes).
- Armor: EN 1621-1 covers shoulder and elbow protectors and EN 1621-2 covers back protectors, each with Level 1 and Level 2 (Wikipedia: motorcycle armor).
- Back protection: back protectors are covered by EN 1621-2, so confirm whether one is included and how it is marked.
- Slider and seam placement: check where sliders and reinforced seams sit.
Fit in the riding position
A jacket should be tried in the riding position, with arms forward as if on the bars. The cuffs should not ride up and the shoulders should not pull across the back, because armor that shifts from the joint offers less than armor that stays in place. Leather loosens a little with wear, so a snug initial fit is normal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Did Chaz Davies win the 2020 WorldSBK title?
No. Davies finished third on 273 points in 2020, behind Scott Redding in second and Jonathan Rea, who secured his sixth consecutive title. Davies and Redding were team-mates at Aruba.it Racing, and the replica jacket is inspired by that Ducati team season.
What does EN 17092 Class AAA mean?
Class AAA is the highest of five classes in EN 17092 and is typical of leather racing suits. Lower classes are intended for lighter riding clothing. A race-style jacket may fall in a different class, so the label on the garment shows what it meets.
Are impact protectors in a jacket removable?
Often yes, but it depends on the design. EN 1621-1 describes shoulder and elbow protectors and EN 1621-2 back protectors, and a jacket may accept different sets. The product page describes what is included in a particular jacket.
Is the replica jacket an official team product?
No. A replica is inspired by the colors and design of a rider's jacket and is not an official team item. Any protection claims should be confirmed from the marking and documentation on the product page.
