FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The shell is cowhide, 1.2 to 1.3 mm thick. It is drum-dyed, so the red and white color runs through the hide. It is also milled to make it softer. If you want a different feel, you can choose Monaco leather or kangaroo leather when you order. Stretch panels of leather and Cordura sit at the back, knees, sleeves and calves. Each suit is hand-stitched to order.
Removable CE Level 2 armor (EN 1621-1:2012) sits inside at the shoulders, elbows, knees and hips. A removable back protector is EN 1621-2 compatible. On the outside, TPU knee sliders take the wear when your knee touches the track. They can be replaced. Extra leather layers sit over the main impact areas. You can also add extra knee sliders when you order.
Both are options. You can also order only the jacket or only the pants. The two-piece suit zips together at the waist and has silver snap buttons on the pants. A one-piece suit has no waist join, so it is a common choice for track days. A two-piece is easier to wear off the bike. See other
