What armor certifications does this suit include?
This Michael van der Mark WSBK racing suit is equipped with EN 1621-1:2012 certified removable dual-density armor at the shoulders, elbows, knees, and hips. It also includes an EN 1621-2 compatible removable spine protector for back and spinal column protection. The external armor features TPU-reinforced metal protectors at the shoulders and knees, plus external TPU elbow and knee sliders. All internal armor is removable, allowing you to customize your protection configuration based on your riding style and track conditions. These certifications meet the highest European safety standards for motorcycle racing.
Why is the cowhide leather on this suit race-grade?
The cowhide leather on this Michael van der Mark suit is drum-dyed and milled to 1.2–1.3 mm thickness, making it race-grade. Drum-dyed processing embeds color throughout the leather fibers, ensuring durability and resistance to fading during high-speed riding. Milling creates a uniform surface that resists tearing and puncturing. This thickness is the industry standard for WSBK and MotoGP race suits because it balances abrasion protection with mobility. The leather is hand-stitched using high-strength nylon thread with dual- and triple-stitched seams at critical impact zones—shoulders, elbows, knees, and hips—ensuring the suit withstands the demands of track racing.
Is the 2017 Yamaha livery color accurate to Michael van der Mark's original suit?
Yes. This suit is built to match the documented 2017 Yamaha SBK livery that Michael van der Mark raced in that season. The colorway is available in black, white, and Yamaha blue—the three core colors of his 2017 race suit. We source our color specifications from the official Yamaha SBK 2017 season documentation to ensure authenticity. If you need a specific shade match or have questions about the exact color code, our team can assist during the made-to-measure process. Custom color requests may also be accommodated—contact us via the measurement form to discuss options.
Can I order this suit with a kangaroo leather upgrade?
Yes. While this Michael van der Mark suit comes standard in cowhide leather, you can upgrade to Monaco leather or kangaroo leather during the product configuration step. Kangaroo leather is lighter and offers higher tensile strength per unit weight, making it popular with riders who prioritize mobility and abrasion resistance at extreme speeds. The upgrade is available when you select your product type (1-piece, 2-piece, jacket, or pants) and customize your suit. All leather options maintain the same 2017 Yamaha livery colors and come with the same EN 1621-1:2012 and EN 1621-2 certifications. Choose your preferred leather type at checkout, and our team will craft your suit accordingly.
