Marc Marquez Winter Test 2024 MotoGP Leather Racing Suit

The Marc Marquez Winter Test 2024 MotoGP Leather Racing Suit reproduces the racing colours Marc Marquez wore in 2024. Test liveries are produced in small numbers and rarely reappear, which is what makes them collectible.

This suit reproduces that design in full-grain cowhide, cut to your own measurements, with CE Level 2 armour at the shoulders, elbows, knees and back. It suits track days, circuit riding, fast road use and collectors who want the livery made properly rather than printed onto a thin shell.

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
• Team colours reproduced in leather patchwork, cut and stitched from coloured hide so the design cannot crack, peel or fade like print
• Pre-curved sleeves and legs with race-fit ergonomic panelling for a natural riding position
• 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
• Accordion leather stretch across the lower back and above the knees for a forward racing crouch
• Reinforced leather at the shoulders, elbows, forearms, hips, knees and lower legs
• External CE certified protectors over the shoulders, elbows and knees
• Removable external knee sliders with hook-and-loop attachment

Inner Shell

• Removable CE Level 2 shoulder, elbow and knee armour certified to EN 1621-1:2012
• Dedicated back protector compartment with a removable CE Level 2 protector certified to EN 1621-2:2014
• Breathable 100% polyester mesh lining for airflow and moisture management
• Two internal pockets for phone, wallet and small essentials
• Fully safety stitched interior
• Removable internal lining available as an optional upgrade

Armour Specification

Armour 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.

Size and Fit

Cut to a close, performance-focused racing fit. Review the full size chart before selecting a standard size, or send your body measurements for the tailor-made option at no extra cost.

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, not a preference: a loose suit lets armour migrate off the joint it protects during a crash. Riders wanting more room through the chest, waist or legs should choose a regular or relaxed fit rather than a race fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What armour does this suit use?
CE Level 2 at every position — back to EN 1621-2:2014, and shoulders, elbows and knees to EN 1621-1:2012 — tested and certified by Ricotest, European Notified Body No. 0498, Pastrengo, Italy.

What is a winter test livery?
A one-off scheme teams run during pre-season testing before the race livery is revealed. They are produced in very small numbers and rarely repeat, which is why test suits are collected rather than simply worn.

Should I choose perforated leather?
Perforated leather ventilates far better in heat but slightly reduces abrasion resistance in the perforated panels. Partial perforation — vented chest and leg panels with solid leather over the impact zones — is the usual compromise for hot-weather riding.

What if I am between two standard sizes?
That is the single best reason to send your measurements instead. Standard sizing forces a compromise at the chest, waist or inseam; a suit cut to your figures does not. Full instructions are in the size guide.

How should I care for a leather race suit?
Wipe the exterior with a soft, slightly damp cloth and use a proper leather conditioner when the hide feels dry. Never machine wash, tumble dry or bleach it. Remove the armour and lining before any deep clean, dry it naturally away from direct heat, and store it on a wide hanger.

Can I order this livery in different colours?
Yes. Any design here can be produced in a completely custom colourway, or as a personal design on the same panel layout. See custom made suits and jackets.

Is a one piece or two piece suit safer?
At sustained racing speeds a one piece has the edge, because there is no waist join that can separate. With a full 360-degree connecting zip the difference at road speeds is small. Armour and leather specification are identical between the two.
