What to Check on a Replica Race Suit
Whatever the livery, a race suit is judged on the same few points:
- Leather weight and panels: the product page states the leather and any stretch inserts used; these decide how the suit feels in a tuck.
- Armor and sliders: check which protectors are fitted or removable, and whether shoulder, elbow and knee sliders are included.
- Back hump and fit: a race hump and pre-curved cut suit a riding position; measure carefully, as the suit is made to order.
- Perforation and lining: ventilation and lining options matter on hot track days.
Protection Standards in Plain Terms
Protective motorcycle clothing in Europe falls under the personal protective equipment regulation, and the EN 17092 series sets garment requirements and classes, as described by test house SATRA. Garment classes run from AAA to A: elbow, shoulder, knee and hip impact protectors are mandatory in Classes AAA and AA, with hip protectors optional in Class A, while Class B gives the abrasion protection of Class A without impact protectors and Class C covers impact protection only. This article states no EN 17092 class for the replica, so the product page and the garment label are the references. The class of any replica depends on the individual product and its label, so check that information rather than assuming it from the livery.
The Haslam 2019 Replica
The 2019 Kawasaki factory colors are green and black, applied through leather patchwork on the replica together with the number 91. Other gear tied to the rider sits in the collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which team did Leon Haslam ride for in 2019?
Haslam rode for Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK in 2019 as teammate to Jonathan Rea, using race number 91, after winning the 2018 British Superbike Championship. The replica suit is inspired by the leathers from that season.
What does the AAA class in EN 17092 mean?
EN 17092 is the European standard for protective motorcycle clothing. Class AAA is the highest of its garment classes, and Classes AAA and AA require elbow, shoulder, knee and hip impact protectors, as SATRA describes. A garment only carries a class if it was tested and labeled, so the label on the specific item is the reference.
How is a replica race suit sized?
The suit is made to order, so it is cut from the measurements supplied. Accurate chest, waist, hip, arm and leg measurements matter more than a usual size label, and the product page lists the options available for this replica.
