Wipe the suit with a soft, damp cloth after a ride. Take the armor out first. Let the suit dry at room temperature, away from heaters and strong sun. Rub in a thin coat of leather conditioner a few times a year. This keeps the leather soft. Hang the suit on a wide hanger in a cool, dry place. For more tips, read the leather care instructions.
