FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the leather thickness and why does it matter for racing?
The Tom Sykes jacket is constructed from 1.2–1.3 mm drum-dyed milled cowhide leather, a thickness standard for WSBK race suits. This density provides excellent abrasion resistance during high-speed slides while remaining flexible enough for aggressive cornering. The drum-dyed milling process softens the leather without compromising its protective properties, making it ideal for track riding where both protection and mobility are critical. Thinner leather compromises durability; thicker leather restricts movement needed for racing position.
How does the made-to-measure sizing process work?
Select Custom Size from the product options Size, complete the checkout process. Submit your body measurements via the measurement form using your order number; jacket ships in 4–6 weeks from spec confirmation. Standard sizing (EU 42–60 for men, EU 38–50 for women) ships in 10–15 working days. Custom sizing ensures the jacket fits your exact body dimensions, critical for racing where loose fabric can shift during high-lean-angle turns and tight areas restrict movement. You'll receive a confirmation email once we receive your measurements.
What CE certifications does the armor meet?
The Tom Sykes jacket features removable CE Certified Level 2 armor at shoulders and elbows, meeting EN 1621-1:2012 impact protection standards. The removable spine and back protector is compatible with EN 1621-2 spinal protection certification. Level 2 armor is designed for higher-impact activities like track racing and provides dual-density foam that absorbs and distributes energy across the impact zone. All armor pieces are removable, allowing you to adjust protection based on riding conditions or storage preferences. For full details on armor specifications, consult our shipping & delivery page or contact support.
How should I care for the cowhide leather after track use?
After track sessions, wipe the cowhide leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Allow the jacket to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Once dry, condition the leather with a quality leather conditioner every 3–6 months to maintain suppleness and water resistance. The drum-dyed milled finish resists staining, but deep scuffs or tears require professional repair. Store the jacket on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place to prevent creasing and leather degradation. Avoid folding or compressing the jacket for extended periods, as this can crack the leather. For stubborn stains or damage, consult a leather specialist.
Is the Tom Sykes jacket available in women's sizing?
Yes, the jacket is available in both men's and women's sizing. Women's sizes range from EU 38–50 (US 6–18, XXS–XL), with pre-curved sleeves and tailoring adapted for women's body proportions. Men's sizes range from EU 42–60 (US 32–50, XS–XXL). Both sizing charts are available on the product page. For the best fit, consult our size chart or select Custom Size for made-to-measure tailoring. Custom sizing is available for both men and women and ensures the jacket conforms to your exact measurements for optimal racing position and comfort.
