Joan Mir Castrol Honda HRC 2025 MotoGP Test Leather Racing Jacket

The Joan Mir Castrol Honda HRC 2025 MotoGP Test Leather Racing Jacket carries the Castrol Honda HRC colours Joan Mir wore during the 2025 MotoGP season, in the one-off scheme run at pre-season testing rather than the race livery. Test schemes are produced in small numbers and rarely reappear, which is what makes them collectible.

A leather racing jacket rather than a full suit — the same livery and the same construction, in a garment you can wear off the bike. Full-grain cowhide with CE Level 2 armour at the shoulders and elbows and a back protector pocket, made to your own measurements.

Construction

• Full-grain cowhide leather — 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 armour 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
• Full interior lining with internal pockets
• YKK zippers throughout
• Team designs produced as leather patchwork rather than print, so they cannot crack, peel or fade
• Can be zipped to matching leather trousers where a two piece is specified

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. The armour is independently CE certified; the leather shell is not certified as a garment.

Riders and Bikes

Most often ordered by riders on the Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade, CBR650R and CB1000R. Any jacket can be produced in a colourway matched to your bike or the rest of your gear.

Size and Fit

Available in standard sizes XS through 3XL, or made to your own measurements at no change to production. An armoured jacket must fit closely so the protectors stay over the shoulder and elbow — a loose jacket lets armour migrate off the joint during a crash. See the size guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What armour 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.

Can the armour be removed?
Yes. The shoulder, elbow and back protectors are all removable, which allows the jacket to be cleaned properly and the armour replaced if it is ever impacted.

Do you make this in a women’s cut?
Yes. Jackets are cut to your own measurements, so they are made on female proportions rather than scaled down from a men’s block.

Can I order custom colours?
Yes. Any colourway can be produced in leather patchwork, including your own design. See custom motorcycle jackets.

Will the design fade?
No. The design is cut and stitched from dyed hide rather than printed, so the colour is the material itself and cannot crack or wash out.

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
