The Nicky Hayden MotoGP 2015 from Leather Collection is a replica inspired by that season. This page goes through what the product listing states.
The 2015 Season Behind the Suit
Hayden raced an Open-class Honda for Drive M7 Aspar in 2015, not the factory machine. The replica is black with fluorescent green accents, which the product page ties to the Mugello 2015 season livery, and as a riding suit it is cut for the track.
Materials and Construction
The listing states 1.2-1.3 mm drum-dyed, milled cowhide with accordion stretch panels and pre-curved sleeves. Seams are double and triple stitched at critical points using high-strength nylon thread. The lining is polyester mesh, with optional removable and thermal linings, and the closures are YKK semi auto-lock zippers.
Protection Features
- The product page lists CE Level 2 armor at the shoulders, elbows, knees and hips (EN 1621-1:2012); no EN 17092 class is stated.
- A removable spine protector, described on the page as compatible with EN 1621-2 (the page states no level).
- External carbon-reinforced metal protectors and replaceable TPU elbow and knee sliders.
Under EN 1621-1, a Level 2 protector must transmit a mean force below 20 kN , against a mean below 35 kN and no single value over 50 kN for Level 1 (Wikipedia: motorcycle armor). Armor lowers impact force but does not remove the risk of injury.
Who the Suit Suits
A one-piece race suit is built for the track and for sportbike riders who ride in a crouch. Riders who plan to use it on track days can compare it with the range or with another Honda option such as the . Sizing covers men and women, and custom sizing is listed.
Final Thoughts
The Nicky Hayden Leather Suit Honda pairs a recognizable Honda scheme with a listed specification of Level 2 armor and a spine protector. Riders should check how the suit fits in a tucked position before ordering, since armor only helps when it stays over the joint. More Honda options are under .
