Yes. The jacket includes removable CE Level 2 armor at the shoulders and elbows (certified to EN 1621-1:2012) and a removable spine/back protector (certified to EN 1621-2). All armor is removable, so you can customize placement or swap in aftermarket protectors if preferred. The left-side inner mesh chest pocket accommodates additional armor for enhanced protection. CE Level 2 certification means the armor has been tested to absorb and distribute impact energy across a defined force threshold — the standard for professional racing and track-day use. The removable design allows you to adjust protection density based on your riding style and the track environment. Armor is included with the jacket; no additional purchase is required.
Yes. The blue, red, and white Pepsi Suzuki livery on the Kevin Schwantz 1988 MotoGP jacket is documented from Kevin Schwantz's 1988 MotoGP season with Suzuki.

The colorway matches period-accurate photographs and racing documentation from that season.
