Men's Leather Motorcycle Jacket Racing Cut with Back Protector Pocket

This men's leather motorcycle jacket is a racing jacket with CE Level 2 protectors at the shoulders, elbows and back. It is made to your size, so the armor sits where it should, and every color and logo can be changed to your own.

Full-grain cowhide with CE Level 2 armor at the shoulders and elbows and a back protector pocket, pre-curved sleeves and stretch panels for movement on the bars. Made to order in your size or to your own measurements.

Construction

• 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 armor 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
• Perforated panels on the chest for airflow
• Full interior lining with internal pockets
• YKK zippers throughout
• Graphics produced as leather patchwork rather than print, so they cannot crack, peel or fade
• Can be zipped to matching leather pants where a two piece is specified

Armor Specification

Armor 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 armor is independently CE certified; the leather shell is not certified as a garment.

Riders and Bikes

Made for Aprilia riders on the RS660, RS 457, RSV4 and Tuono, and just as good on any other sport bike, supersport or naked bike. It can also be made in a women's cut. Any jacket can be produced in a colorway matched to your bike or the rest of your gear.

Size and Fit

Choose your size when you order, or have the jacket made to your own measurements at no change to production. An armored jacket must fit closely so the protectors stay over the shoulder and elbow — a loose jacket lets armor migrate off the joint during a crash. See the size guide.
