Racing Redefined: The Leon Haslam Honda HRC WSBK 2020 Leather Jacket

The 2020 WorldSBK season was the year Honda returned to the championship as a factory team. Team HRC entered the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade for Alvaro Bautista and Leon Haslam, who raced with number 91 (see the 2020 Superbike World Championship season record).

The Leon Haslam Honda CBR Jacket WSBK 2020 is a replica inspired by Haslam’s 2020 Honda HRC race leathers, offered in the team’s blue, red and white colors.

The 2020 Honda HRC Livery

Honda’s factory return centred on the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade, and Haslam, number 91, was one of its two riders. The replica jacket follows that livery in blue, red and white. It is an independent replica inspired by the race design and is not affiliated with Honda, HRC or the rider.

Materials and Construction

  • Cowhide: 1.2 to 1.3 mm drum-dyed milled cowhide, hand-stitched with reinforced safety stitching.
  • Pre-curved sleeves: shaped for a racing riding position.
  • Stretch panels: Cordura stretch panels with Kevlar-look reinforcement add mobility.
  • Lining: polyester mesh lining with one inner chest pocket.

Armor and Protection

According to the product page, the jacket lists armor at the shoulders and elbows described by the seller as Level 2 (EN 1621-1:2012), with no test certificate named, a removable spine protector compatible with EN 1621-2, external carbon-reinforced metal shoulder protectors and TPU elbow sliders. Under EN 1621-1, Level 2 is the higher performance tier: protectors must transmit less force in the lab impact test than Level 1 (see this overview of motorcycle armor standards). The standard describes protector performance only and does not promise injury prevention in a crash.

Fit and Customization

For MotoGP and WSBK replica Jackets , armor only works where it sits over the joint it covers, so fit matters. The jacket can be ordered with made-to-measure sizing, and a custom-made motorcycle jacket option exists for riders who prefer a different design.

  • Perforation: none, chest-only, front-only or full.
  • Speed hump: standard, ventilated or hydro.
  • Matching gear: optional Leon Haslam WSBK gloves.

For road use, the everyday Honda riding jacket is a separate, road-oriented design.

Final Thoughts

The Leon Haslam Honda HRC WSBK 2020 jacket is a replica for riders and fans of the Fireblade’s factory return, with armor options, stretch panels and customization listed on its product page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Leon Haslam Honda jacket an official Honda product?

No. It is an independent replica inspired by the race livery and is not affiliated with Honda, HRC or Leon Haslam. The design follows the blue, red and white colors of the 2020 Honda HRC WorldSBK team.

What does Level 2 mean for armor?

EN 1621-1 grades limb impact protectors as Level 1 or Level 2. Level 2 allows lower transmitted force in the laboratory test, so more of the impact energy is absorbed rather than passed on. The standard describes protector performance only and does not promise injury prevention.

Can the armor be removed or changed?

The product page describes removable shoulder and elbow armor and a removable spine protector compatible with EN 1621-2. To use a different back protector, confirm with the maker that it fits this jacket's pocket, because protector sizes and pocket shapes differ between jackets and the page does not describe the pocket.

Which options are available for this jacket?

The page lists perforation choices (none, chest-only, front-only or full), speed hump types (standard, ventilated or hydro), made-to-measure sizing and optional matching Leon Haslam WSBK gloves. Perforation suits warm-weather riding, while solid leather suits cooler conditions.
