-- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS --
What materials and construction are used in the Valentino Rossi Aprilia GP 1996 Leathers?
These race leathers use top-grain cowhide leather at 1.2 to 1.3 mm. Accordion stretch panels sit on the lower back and knees. Cordura stretch inserts are placed in sleeves, crotch, and calf areas. Inside features polyester mesh lining and a left inner chest pocket. Seams use dual stitching and triple stitching in key impact areas. Semi auto-lock YKK zippers and Velcro straps secure the fit. Armor pockets accept removable CE approved protectors for shoulders and elbows. This construction suits riders who want a race-oriented leather suit.
What protective features are built into this racing leathers motorcycle suit?
Yes - the suit includes multiple CE approved protective elements. Removable dual density armor is fitted at shoulders, elbows, and knees. A removable CE rated spine protector is included for extra coverage. Additional leather layers and foam padding reduce abrasion at high wear zones. The suit offers removable knee sliders and optional rubber padding on request. Safety stitching and reinforced panels provide stronger seams in critical areas. These features help riders feel secure without promising specific crash outcomes. This setup fits race-minded riders and experienced street riders alike.
Is this suit suitable for track days, street riding, or both?
This two-piece motorcycle racing suit is built primarily for track use. It has a race cut, pre-curved sleeves, and tight fit through the torso. Armor and fastening systems work well for aggressive riding and track movements. Street riders can use it for spirited weekend rides and commuting. Expect less airflow than perforated touring suits, but mesh lining aids cooling. Choose a slightly looser fit or size up for longer street comfort. This suit is best for riders who want a race-style experience.
How should I choose the right size for these two piece motorcycle racing leathers?
Race leathers usually fit snugly; measure before ordering for best results. Measure chest, waist, hips, inseam, and sleeve length with a tape. Compare your numbers to the sizing chart on the product page. If you plan long street rides, select a size up for added comfort. Velcro cuffs and calf straps allow minor fit adjustments after purchase. We also offer custom measurements for riders needing a tailored fit. Contact customer support with your measurements for fit recommendations and help.
What is the recommended care and maintenance for these racing leathers?
Clean and condition the leather regularly to keep it supple and safe. Wipe dirt with a damp cloth and mild leather cleaner as needed. Remove armor before deep cleaning and let the suit air dry naturally. Avoid machine washing, direct heat, or prolonged sun exposure to prevent damage. Use a quality leather conditioner every few months to maintain softness. Inspect armor and seams after any fall and replace damaged parts promptly. Store on a wide hanger in a cool, dry place between rides.
