Built for a Smooth Riding Style
A racing jacket suits a rider when it moves with the rider instead of pulling across the shoulders. This replica uses pre-curved sleeves to match the position on the handlebars, Cordura stretch reinforcement and a made-to-order cut. Standard sizes run from XS to XXL for men and XXS to XL for women, and made-to-measure sizing is also offered.
Materials and Construction
- Cowhide: 1.2-1.3 mm drum-dyed cowhide, hand-stitched, with reinforced safety stitching along the seams.
- Stretch reinforcement: Cordura stretch panels at the sleeves.
- Zippers: YKK semi-auto-lock zippers.
Protection Features Listed on the Product Page
Removable Level 2 armour to EN 1621-1:2012 is listed at the shoulders and elbows, together with a removable spine and back protector that is EN 1621-2 compatible. EN 1621-1 is the standard for limb joint impact protectors; BSI publishes its scope. The listing also names TPU-reinforced protectors and TPU elbow sliders; it gives no test results for them. As with any riding gear, protection lowers risk without removing it, and armour needs to sit correctly over the joints.
Comfort and Ventilation
A polyester mesh lining aids airflow, and one inner chest pocket stores small items. Perforation can be ordered as none, chest, front or full, and the speed hump as none, standard, ventilated or hydro. The category gathers further gear linked to the rider, and other replica seasons sit in .

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this jacket an official Suzuki product?
No. It is a replica inspired by the jacket style Alex Rins wore in the 2019 MotoGP season. Leather Collection makes it, and it has no link to Suzuki or Team Suzuki Ecstar. The livery follows that season, and the specification is described on the product page.
What sizes does the jacket come in?
The product page lists standard sizes from XS to XXL for men and XXS to XL for women. Made-to-measure sizing is also available for riders whose measurements fall between standard sizes. Checking chest, waist and arm length against the size chart before ordering helps avoid fit problems.
What does EN 1621-1 cover?
EN 1621-1 is the European standard for motorcyclists' limb joint impact protectors, the armour used at shoulders, elbows, knees and hips. It sets requirements and test methods for protectors built into riding clothing or sold separately. It describes the protector itself, not the whole garment, and it does not mean a rider cannot be injured.
Does the jacket include a back protector?
The product page lists a removable spine and back protector described as EN 1621-2 compatible, which is not the same as certified; check the label. Back protectors are tested under EN 1621-2, a separate standard from the one for limb armour. Riders should confirm the protector fits their torso length and sits correctly against the spine.
