Leather Racing Jacket Motorcycle Jacket with Armor

This leather racing jacket is a motorcycle jacket with CE Level 2 armor. It is made to your size, so the armor stays over the shoulders, elbows and spine, and every color and graphic can be changed to your own.

Full-grain cowhide with CE Level 2 armor at the shoulders and elbows and a back protector pocket, pre-curved sleeves and stretch panels for movement on the bars. Made to order in your size or to your own measurements.

Construction

• Full-grain cowhide leather, 1.3–1.4 mm — the dense outer layer of the hide that abrades slowly rather than tearing. Split, bonded and PU-coated leather is never used
• CE Level 2 armor at the shoulders and elbows, with a back protector pocket fitted with a CE Level 2 protector
• Pre-curved sleeves cut for a riding position rather than a standing one
• Triple safety stitching on main seams with high-strength bonded nylon thread
• Stretch panels at the underarms and across the shoulders for movement on the bars
• Perforated panels for airflow
• Full interior lining with internal pockets
• YKK zippers throughout
• Graphics produced as leather patchwork rather than print, so they cannot crack, peel or fade
• Can be zipped to matching leather pants where a two piece is specified

Armor Specification

Armor is KeepTech, independently tested and certified by Ricotest, European Notified Body No. 0498, Pastrengo, Italy, under EU Regulation 2016/425 as Category II PPE, CE and UKCA marked. Level 2 transmits about 20 kN in the standard impact test against roughly 35 kN for Level 1. The armor is independently CE certified; the leather shell is not certified as a garment.

Riders and Bikes

Made for riders of Aprilia RSV4, Tuono and RS 457 and any other sport bike, supersport or naked bike, on the road or at track days. It is made for men and women. Any jacket can be produced in a colorway matched to your bike or the rest of your gear.

Size and Fit

Choose your size when you order, or have the jacket made to your own measurements at no change to production. An armored jacket must fit closely so the protectors stay over the shoulder and elbow — a loose jacket lets armor migrate off the joint during a crash. See the size guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What armor does this jacket use?
CE Level 2 at the shoulders and elbows to EN 1621-1:2012, with a back protector pocket fitted with a CE Level 2 protector to EN 1621-2:2014, certified by Ricotest, Notified Body No. 0498, Italy.

What makes a good leather racing jacket?
Thick full-grain cowhide, CE-certified armor at the shoulders, elbows and back, and a close fit. A made-to-measure fit keeps the armor where it needs to be in a crash.

Is this an Aprilia jacket?
It carries an Aprilia design, and we can make the same jacket in your colors for any bike. See custom motorcycle jackets.

Is this a men's or women's jacket?
Both. It is cut to your measurements, so it can be made on men's or women's proportions.

What leather is used?
Full-grain cowhide, the dense outer layer of the hide. Split, bonded and PU-coated leather tear rather than abrade and are never used here.

Do you ship worldwide?
Yes. Every jacket is made to order and shipped worldwide.

Care Instructions

• Wipe the exterior with a soft, slightly damp cloth
• Use a leather conditioner when the hide feels dry
• Do not machine wash, tumble dry or bleach
• Dry naturally, away from direct sunlight and artificial heat
• Store on a wide hanger so the shoulders keep their shape
