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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat armour does this suit use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCE 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I order this livery in different colours?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Any design here can be produced in a completely custom colourway, or as a personal design on the same panel layout.

With a full 360-degree connecting zip the difference at road speeds is small. Armour and leather specification are identical between the two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use this suit on the road as well as the track?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The specification is the same either way. A one piece is less convenient off the bike, so riders splitting their time between road and track often prefer the two piece version of the same livery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I choose cowhide or kangaroo leather?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKangaroo at 0.8–0.9 mm gives comparable abrasion resistance to cowhide at 1.3–1.4 mm for noticeably less weight, which is why most professional racers use it. Full-grain cowhide is harder wearing over many seasons and costs less.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 armour?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe rating measures how much force passes through the protector in a controlled impact test. Level 2 transmits about 20 kN, Level 1 about 35 kN. Less transmitted force means less energy reaching bone and joint. Every protector in this suit is Level 2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I choose perforated leather?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePerforated 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean the exterior with a soft, slightly damp cloth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse a suitable leather cleaner and conditioner when required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not machine wash, tumble dry or bleach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove internal armour and lining before deep cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry naturally, away from direct sunlight and artificial heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore on a wide hanger in a cool, dry place\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bleed Racing Gears","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48882547982578,"sku":"BRG-ST-VRS-VR46-MGP-001","price":769.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0819\/7029\/9122\/files\/Valentino-Rossi-Yamaha-MotoGp-2013-Motorbike-Racing-Leather-Suit-1.webp?v=1773890185","url":"https:\/\/bleedracinggears.com\/en-ca\/products\/rossi-motogp-racing-leather-suit","provider":"Bleed Racing Gears","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
