FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What leather is used in the Kenny Roberts Yamaha MotoGP racing suit?

The Kenny Roberts Yamaha suit is constructed from 1.2–1.3 mm cowhide leather, drum-dyed and milled for superior abrasion resistance and race-grade durability. Cowhide is the industry standard for MotoGP replica suits because of its tensile strength and proven track performance. The leather thickness and finish match the protection standards required for high-speed racing. You can also upgrade to Monaco or kangaroo leather if you prefer lighter weight or enhanced grip properties — kangaroo leather is popular among track riders for its superior strength-to-weight ratio and is available as a custom option during checkout.

How do I order a custom size Kenny Roberts race suit?

Made-to-measure custom sizing is simple: select Custom Size from the product options Size dropdown, complete the checkout process, and then submit your body measurements via the measurement form using your order number. Our team will use your measurements to craft a suit tailored to your exact fit. We offer standard sizes in Men (EU 42–60, US 32–50) and Women (EU 38–50, US 6–18) if you prefer off-the-shelf sizing. For detailed guidance, consult our size chart or contact our team with any questions about your measurements.

What is the lead time for made-to-measure Kenny Roberts leathers?

Made-to-measure Kenny Roberts Yamaha suits ship in 4–6 weeks from spec confirmation — once we receive your measurements and confirm your customization choices, production begins immediately. Standard sizing orders (pre-measured sizes) ship in 10–15 working days from order confirmation. All suits are hand-stitched made-to-order, so there is no stock — every suit is built specifically for you. For urgent orders or special requests, contact our team to discuss options. See our shipping & delivery page for full details on lead times and international shipping to 50+ countries.

What CE certifications does the Kenny Roberts 1979 suit have?

The Kenny Roberts Yamaha MotoGP racing suit includes EN 1621-1:2012 certified removable dual-density armor at the shoulders, elbows, and knees — these are the primary impact zones during a track slide. The suit is also compatible with an EN 1621-2 removable spine protector for back protection. All armor is removable, so you can adjust protection based on your riding style or track conditions. External TPU knee sliders are included and replaceable, allowing you to refresh protection after wear. The combination of certified internal armor and external reinforcement layers makes this suit suitable for serious track riding and racing environments.

Can I customize the speed hump and perforation on the Kenny Roberts suit?

Yes — the Kenny Roberts suit offers full customization on both speed hump and perforation. For the speed hump, choose from No Hump, Standard Hump, Ventilated Hump, or Hydro Hump depending on your back protection preference and riding style. For perforation, select No Perforation, Perforated Chest, Perforated Front, or Full Perforated to control ventilation — sealed construction is better for cooler weather or high-speed racing, while full perforation improves airflow on hot track days. You can also add removable thermal lining or extra knee sliders as seasonal add-ons. All options are selectable during the customization process at checkout.
