Polar Vex Motorcycle Leather Suit

The Polar Vex Motorcycle Leather Suit is a full race-specification leather suit, built from full-grain cowhide with CE Level 2 armour at every protected position.

Cut to your own measurements, with a race fit that holds the armour over the joint it protects.

Outer Shell

• Full-grain cowhide leather, 1.3–1.4 mm, for high abrasion resistance — kangaroo 0.8–0.9 mm available as an upgrade

• Triple safety stitching throughout with high-strength bonded nylon thread
• Original YKK zippers at the front, sleeve cuffs and ankles
• Kevlar stretch panels at the crotch, behind the calves and under the sleeves

Size and Fit

Cut to a close, performance-focused racing fit. Send your measurements for the tailor-made option at no extra cost, or select a standard size after checking the full chart.

A new suit should feel firm standing upright and correct once you are sitting on the bike. Full-grain leather relaxes and moulds to you over the first few rides. Fit is a safety feature: a loose suit lets armour migrate off the joint it protects during a crash.

Frequently Asked Questions

What armour is fitted?
CE Level 2 at the back to EN 1621-2:2014 and at the shoulders, elbows and knees to EN 1621-1:2012, certified by Ricotest, Notified Body No. 0498, Italy.

Is this suitable for track days?
Yes. Most circuits require a one piece or a two piece with a full 360-degree connecting zip, and both are available. Check your circuit’s regulations before the day.

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

Can I add a speed hump?
Yes, in small, medium or large, fixed or removable.

Does made to measure cost more?
No. Every suit is cut to order, so a made-to-measure fit is the same price and the same production as a standard size.

Can this be made as a one piece or two piece?
Both. A two piece uses a full 360-degree connecting zip around the waist. Specify at the time of order, as it cannot be converted afterwards.

Can I have my name and race number?
Yes, in leather patchwork, along with team identity or any custom text.
