FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What leather is used in the Valentino Rossi 1998 Aprilia MotoGP racing suit?

The suit uses 1.2–1.3 mm drum-dyed milled cowhide leather, the same thickness and finish standard for authentic MotoGP race suits. Drum-dyed and milled processing enhances abrasion resistance and durability during high-speed slides. This cowhide construction is race-grade and matches the protection profile Valentino Rossi relied on during the 1998 MotoGP season. You can also upgrade to Monaco or kangaroo leather via the made-to-measure options if you prefer lighter weight or additional abrasion resistance. All leather options are hand-stitched made-to-order, ensuring construction quality that reflects 15+ years of Leather Collection craftsmanship.

How do I order a custom size for the racing suit?

Made-to-measure custom sizing is available. Select Custom Size from the product options Size dropdown during checkout, then complete your order. After checkout, submit your body measurements using the measurement form with your order number. Once we receive your measurements, our team will confirm your specifications, and your suit will ship in 4–6 weeks from that confirmation. Standard pre-sized options (EU 42–60 for men; EU 38–50 for women) ship in 10–15 working days. Custom sizing ensures the suit fits your body precisely for optimal comfort and protection on track.

What protection certifications does the Valentino Rossi suit have?

The suit features CE Level 2 armor at the shoulders, elbows, and knees, certified to EN 1621-1:2012 standards. A removable dual-density spine protector is included and compatible with EN 1621-2 back protection specifications. Replaceable TPU knee sliders and external TPU protection at the knees add impact absorption during slides. All armor is removable, allowing you to customize your protection setup based on your riding style and track conditions. This certification level is standard for professional MotoGP race suits and provides the impact protection serious track-day riders expect.

Is this suit suitable for track-day riding?

Yes. The Valentino Rossi 1998 Aprilia MotoGP racing suit is purpose-built for track riding. It features race-grade 1.2–1.3 mm cowhide leather, EN 1621-1:2012 certified armor, pre-curved sleeves for optimal riding position, accordion stretch panels for mobility, and replaceable knee sliders for extended track sessions. The suit is available in standard sizes or made-to-measure custom fit, ensuring a secure, performance-focused setup.

What are the speed hump options available?

The suit offers four speed hump configurations: No Hump, Standard Hump, Ventilated Hump, and Hydro Hump. The speed hump is an aerodynamic and protective feature that runs along the back and spine, reducing drag and providing additional back protection during high-speed cornering. The Ventilated Hump includes mesh panels for airflow during warm-weather track sessions. The Hydro Hump is designed for water-resistant added protection in varied conditions. Select your preferred hump option during the made-to-measure customization process.
