-- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS --
How do I pick the correct size for a one-piece leather racing suit?
Choose a size that fits snugly with room for armor. Measure chest, waist, hips, inseam and shoulder width first. Use the store size chart to match your measurements. The suit has pre-curved sleeves and stretch panels for riding comfort. If you sit between two sizes, size up for comfort. Custom sizing is available for a tailored race fit on request. Wear your normal riding base layer when trying sizes. We can advise on fit if you provide measurements and photos. This guidance helps riders get a race-oriented fit that still allows movement.
What protective features are built into the leather racing suit?
The suit includes CE-approved armor at shoulders, elbows, and knees. A removable dual-density CE-approved spine protector is also included. Extra leather layers are stitched on high-impact zones for abrasion resistance. Foam padding reduces impact energy at elbows and knees. Rubber pads are optional on critical areas if you request them. Speed hump options improve aerodynamic stability and neck support. Armor pieces are removable for cleaning or custom swapping. These features improve abrasion management and distribute forces in a slide. They are designed to reduce abrasion and manage impact forces.
Is this suit better for track days or street riding?
This leather racing suit suits both track days and aggressive street riding. Its construction favors a race-oriented fit and mobility on the bike. Pre-curved sleeves and accordion panels help maintain riding position during laps. CE armor and extra leather layers assist in abrasion resistance if you slide. Ventilation is not heavily pronounced, so hot-weather riders may need breaks. Add optional vents or perforation upon request for more airflow. Removable liners and armor make short street trips more practical. This suit is best for riders who want a track-style fit for street use. If you plan long touring, consider a more ventilated touring suit.
Can I customize colors, logos, or add a speed hump?
Yes, the suit offers extensive customization of colors, patches, and features. You can choose color blocking, add logos, or request special stitching. Kenny Roberts Yamaha GP 1979 Leathers can be tailored to your measurements. Optional features include rubber padding, knee sliders, and an aerodynamic hump.

How should I clean and maintain my leather racing suit?
Clean the suit gently with a damp cloth and leather cleaner. Avoid machine washing or harsh solvents that strip natural oils. Condition the leather periodically with a suitable conditioner to keep it supple. Remove armor and sliders before deep cleaning to protect them. Store the suit on a wide hanger away from heat and sunlight. Patch or repair torn seams promptly to prevent worsening damage. For heavy stains or structural repairs, use a professional leather service. If unsure, contact our support with photos for care advice.
