Kawasaki Men's Black and Green Leather Motorcycle Racing Jacket

The Kawasaki Men's Black and Green Leather Motorcycle Racing Jacket is a genuine leather riding jacket in black cowhide with white leather stripes and Kawasaki green inserts, with Kawasaki lettering on the collar, down both sleeves and across the upper back. It is a leather biker jacket with race styling for sport and road riding on a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4RR, ZX-6R, ZX-10R, Ninja 400 or Z-series, with armour at the shoulders, elbows and back.

Full-grain cowhide with CE Level 2 armour at the shoulders and elbows, a back protector pocket, perforated shoulder panels for airflow, stretch panels for movement on the bars and zipped chest and hand pockets. Made to order in standard sizes or to your own measurements.

Quick Specifications

Construction

• Genuine 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 armour at the shoulders and elbows, with a back protector pocket fitted with a CE Level 2 protector
• Perforated leather panels at the shoulders for airflow on warm rides
• Black stretch panels beside the green inserts for movement on the bars
• 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
• Snap collar tab and snap cuffs for a close fit at the neck and wrists
• Zipped chest pocket and two zipped hand pockets, plus full interior lining with internal pockets
• YKK zippers throughout
• White stripes, green inserts and Kawasaki lettering produced as leather patchwork and applied lettering, not a printed shell
• Can be zipped to matching leather trousers where a two piece is specified

About the Black and Green Design

This is the classic Kawasaki green and black jacket look. Black leather forms the body, with white leather stripes curving from the collar down the chest and sleeves, neon green inserts at the shoulders, and Kawasaki lettering on the collar, the forearms and the white arch across the back. It suits riders who want a Kawasaki Ninja racing jacket without a full race suit.

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

Ordered by riders on the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4RR, ZX-6R, ZX-10R and Ninja 400, the Z900 and Z650, and by anyone who wants a Kawasaki racing jacket for the street. Any jacket can be produced in a colourway matched to your bike or the rest of your gear. See more Kawasaki leather jackets and Ninja racing suits.

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, since a loose jacket lets armour migrate off the joint during a crash. See the size guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a genuine leather jacket?
Yes. It is made from full-grain cowhide. Split, bonded and PU-coated leather tear rather than abrade and are never used here.

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.

Is the jacket ventilated?
The shoulders have perforated leather panels for airflow. Perforated leather is not waterproof, so it is best for dry and warm weather riding.

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

Can I zip this jacket to matching trousers?
Yes. It can be produced with a connecting zip to match leather trousers, making a two piece suit. Specify it at the time of order.

Can I change the colours or add my name and number?
Yes. Colours, rider name, race number and custom text can be applied in leather patchwork.

Is this jacket suitable for track use?
It is built for sport riding, but most circuits require a one piece suit or a two piece with a full 360-degree connecting zip. For track days see one piece race suits.

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
