Maverick Viñales rode for Monster Energy Yamaha in the 2019 MotoGP season, switching to the number 12 from the 25 he had used for most of his Grand Prix career. He won the Dutch TT at Assen and the Malaysian Grand Prix at Sepang and finished third in the championship, per the 2019 season summary.
The , available at Leather Collection, is a replica inspired by his blue-and-black Yamaha look from that season. Leather Collection has made hand-stitched, made-to-order gear since 2009.
Key Takeaways
- Viñales won two races in 2019, at Assen and Sepang, riding the number 12 for Monster Energy Yamaha.
- The jacket is a replica inspired by that season, not the rider's own race garment.
- Listed features include removable shoulder and elbow armor described as CE Level 2 (CE Level 2 (EN 1621-1:2012) also appears as a separate add-on on the page, so confirm what is fitted by default), a removable spine protector and a mesh lining.
- Standards cover armor inserts (EN 1621) and complete garments (EN 17092) separately.
Viñales and the 2019 Yamaha
His second win of 2019 came at Sepang, where he led every lap ahead of Marc Marquez and Andrea Dovizioso, as reported by Motorsport.com. A replica jacket recalls that Monster Energy Yamaha package: blue and black base and the number 12.
Materials and Construction
The product page lists drum-dyed cowhide leather of 1.2 to 1.3 mm, safety stitching, stretch panels at the sleeves and calves, a 100% polyester mesh lining and pre-curved sleeves. Abrasion performance depends on the leather, the seams and the construction; the EN 17092 class on a garment label is the test-based indicator, and the page states none.
Protection Features
The product page lists removable armor at the shoulders and elbows described as CE Level 2 (EN 1621-1:2012), a removable spine protector described as compatible with EN 1621-2, and TPU elbow sliders. The same page also lists CE Level 2 (EN 1621-1:2012) as a separate add-on option, so it does not make clear whether that level is fitted by default; confirm this before ordering. The page does not state an EN 1621-2 level for the spine protector, and it names no test certificate. For EN 1621-1, SATRA gives the Level 1 limits as a mean maximum transmitted force below 35 kN with no single value over 50 kN; Level 2 is the stricter tier, with a mean below 20 kN. These figures describe the insert alone. Whole-garment classes under EN 17092 are a separate matter, and the product page states no EN 17092 class.

Fit and Comfort
Pre-curved sleeves follow the arm position on the handlebars, and the polyester mesh lining helps with moisture. Because a race cut is closer to the body, choosing the right size or a made-to-measure option matters more than on a casual jacket.

Final Thoughts
The jacket suits Yamaha fans who want a season-specific replica with removable armor and a removable spine protector. The product page holds the exact specification and options.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which races did Viñales win in 2019?
He won the Dutch TT at Assen and the Malaysian Grand Prix at Sepang, and finished third in the championship. He raced for Monster Energy Yamaha that season and used the number 12, replacing the 25 from earlier years.
Is this jacket the one Viñales raced in?
No. It is a replica inspired by his 2019 Monster Energy Yamaha look and number 12. The cut, armor and options are those listed on the product page for this made-to-order jacket, not those of his own race leathers.
What does CE Level 2 armor mean?
CE here refers to impact protectors tested to EN 1621-1, the European standard for shoulder, elbow, knee and hip protectors. Level 2 is the stricter of its two levels: the mean force transmitted in the test must stay below 20 kN, against below 35 kN and 50 kN for Level 1. The level describes the insert alone, not the whole garment, and not every crash outcome.
Can a back protector be added to a race-style leather jacket?
Some jackets list a removable spine or back protector, and a separate insert is another option for riders who want one. Only fit a protector the maker states is compatible with that jacket, and ask before buying a separate insert. EN 1621-2 is the standard for back protectors; it has its own Level 1 and Level 2 limits, which cannot be compared with the limb-protector figures because the tests differ. The insert should be the right length for the rider and sit flat against the spine.
