FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the material and thickness of the Tom Sykes WSBK racing suit?
The Tom Sykes WSBK racing suit is crafted from 1.2–1.3 mm drum-dyed milled cowhide leather, a race-grade material chosen for its abrasion resistance and durability during high-speed track riding. The drum-dyed finish ensures consistent color throughout the leather, while the milling process creates a refined surface that resists scuffing. This thickness is the industry standard for professional-level racing suits and provides the optimal balance between protection and mobility. You can upgrade to Monaco leather or kangaroo leather at checkout if you prefer a lighter, higher-tensile option.
How does the made-to-measure custom sizing process work?
Made-to-measure custom sizing for the Tom Sykes WSBK racing suit is straightforward. Select Custom Size from the product options Size during checkout, then complete your purchase. After order confirmation, you'll receive your order number. Submit your body measurements using the measurement form on our website — include your order number so we can match your specs to your suit. Once we receive and confirm your measurements, your suit enters production and ships in 4–6 weeks from spec confirmation. Standard sizes (EU 42–60 for men, EU 38–50 for women) ship in 10–15 working days if you prefer an off-the-shelf option.
What protection certifications does this racing suit have?
The Tom Sykes WSBK racing suit meets EN 1621-1:2012 and EN 1621-2 standards. EN 1621-1:2012 governs impact armor at shoulders, elbows, knees, and hips — the suit includes removable dual-density CE certified armor at all four zones. EN 1621-2 covers spine and back protection; this suit includes a removable spine protector compatible with EN 1621-2 specifications. In addition, external carbon-reinforced metal protectors at shoulders and knees, plus TPU elbow and knee sliders, provide secondary impact and abrasion defense. All armor is removable, so you can customize protection level and replace components as needed during your racing career.
Can I customize the speed hump, perforation, and other options?
Yes, the Tom Sykes WSBK racing suit offers extensive customization. Speed hump options include no hump, standard hump, ventilated hump, or hydro hump — choose based on your back protection preference and riding intensity. Perforation patterns range from no perforation (full leather) to perforated chest, perforated front, or full perforated for increased airflow on warm track days. You can also add removable lining (standard or thermal) for seasonal flexibility, extra knee sliders for extended use, and upgrade your leather to Monaco or kangaroo. Choose your configuration (1-piece suit, 2-piece suit, jacket only, or pants only) during checkout to match your track setup.
Are the knee sliders and spine protector replaceable?
Yes, both the knee sliders and spine protector are fully removable and replaceable. The TPU knee sliders are mounted via Velcro tabs on the suit and wear during track use — you can order extra knee sliders as an add-on at checkout and swap them out when they become worn. The spine protector is also removable, allowing you to upgrade or replace it independently. This modular design extends the lifespan of your suit and keeps your protection gear current as your riding needs evolve. Replacement components are available through our website or by contacting our support team.
