Suit Specifications & Construction Details

Outer Layer

• 1.2-1.3 mm drum-dyed milled cowhide leather resists tearing and puncturing due to higher tensile strength per unit weight.
• Accordion leather stretch panels on lower back and knees improve flexibility and reduce restriction during cornering and body positioning.
• Stretchable Cordura panels placed at sleeves, crotch, and calf maximize mobility without sacrificing abrasion protection.
• External CE-approved TPU protectors on shoulders, elbows, and knees provide additional impact resistance beyond internal armor.
• Pre-curved sleeves follow the natural riding position, reducing bunching and improving aerodynamic profile on track.
• Front, cuff, and calf YKK semi auto-lock zippers with reinforced stitching ensure secure closure and smooth operation.
• Velcro-reinforced straps on neck, cuff, and calf allow fine-tuned fit adjustments during racing.
• Velcro attachments for knee sliders enable quick slider replacement without tools.
• Soft neoprene cuff and collar construction provides comfort and prevents chafing during extended wear.
• Safety stitching uses high-strength nylon thread with dual and triple stitching at seams to prevent panel separation under impact.

Inner Layer

• Polyester mesh lining wicks moisture and improves airflow during high-intensity track sessions.
• EN 1621-1:2012 certified removable dual-density armor at knees, shoulders, and elbows absorbs and distributes impact energy.
• EN 1621-2 compatible removable spine protector shields the vertebral column and is replaceable without replacing the suit.
• Removable aerodynamic hump (optional) provides additional back protection and can be added or removed based on rider preference.
• Left-side inner mesh chest pocket provides secure storage for small items without adding bulk.
