FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What material is the Mario Lega Ducati 1979 racing suit made from?

The Mario Lega Ducati 1979 racing suit is crafted from drum-dyed milled cowhide leather, 1.2–1.3 mm thick. This thickness and finish deliver exceptional abrasion resistance during high-speed riding and slides, essential for track racing. The drum-dyed milling process creates a uniform surface that resists tearing and puncturing. Cowhide is the race-grade standard for MotoGP replicas because of its tensile strength per unit weight and proven performance in crash scenarios. We also offer a kangaroo leather upgrade option at checkout if you prefer a lighter, more abrasion-resistant alternative. All leather is hand-stitched using high-strength nylon thread at critical seams to ensure durability under extreme riding conditions.

How does the made-to-measure process work?

Made-to-measure custom sizing is straightforward. Select Custom Size from the product options Size dropdown, then complete your checkout as normal. After your order is confirmed, you'll receive an order number via email. Use that order number to access the measurement form on our website. Submit your precise body measurements (chest, waist, sleeve length, inseam, shoulder width, and any other custom details) through the form. Our tailors will review your measurements and contact you to confirm fit details if needed. Your suit is then hand-stitched to your exact specifications and ships in 4–6 weeks from spec confirmation. Standard sizes (EU 42–60 / US 32–50) ship in 10–15 working days.

What CE certifications does the Mario Lega suit have?

The Mario Lega Ducati 1979 racing suit meets EN 1621-1:2012 and EN 1621-2 standards. The suit includes removable dual-density armor at the shoulders, elbows, knees, and hips (EN 1621-1:2012 certified) and a removable spine protector compatible with EN 1621-2 for back protection. These certifications confirm that the armor absorbs and distributes impact energy according to strict European safety protocols. External TPU knee sliders are replaceable, allowing you to swap them out as they wear. All armor is removable, so you can customize your protection level based on your riding intensity and preference. This is the same protection spec found on professional MotoGP race suits.

Can I choose between a 1-piece and 2-piece configuration?

Yes. The Mario Lega Ducati suit is available in both 1-piece and 2-piece configurations. The 1-piece design integrates the jacket and pants into a single suit, eliminating any gap at the waist during aggressive riding and offering maximum protection and streamlining. The 2-piece split allows you to wear the jacket and pants separately, making it easier to transition between track sessions and pit stops, or to layer the jacket over different pants for varied riding conditions. Choose the configuration that best matches your racing style and comfort preference at checkout. Both configurations are hand-stitched with identical protection specs and material quality.

What speed hump options are available?

The Mario Lega Ducati suit offers four speed hump options: no hump, standard hump, ventilated hump, and hydro hump. The no hump option removes the back protector bump entirely for a streamlined profile. The standard hump provides fixed neck and spine protection with a traditional aerodynamic shape. The ventilated hump includes mesh vents for warm-weather riding while maintaining full protection. The hydro hump incorporates liquid-filled chambers for enhanced impact absorption and is ideal for riders seeking maximum back protection during high-speed track days. All speed hump options are removable, so you can swap or remove them based on the season and your riding conditions. Select your preferred option at checkout.
