Andrea Iannone raced in the 2025 WorldSBK championship for the Pata GoEleven team on a Ducati Panigale V4 R. The is a replica jacket inspired by that season, in yellow with Ducati Superbike-style graphics. This guide explains what to look for in a racing-style leather jacket: the leather, the armour, the cut and how it pairs with other gear.
Key Takeaways
- Andrea Iannone rode a Ducati Panigale V4 R for the Pata GoEleven team in WorldSBK in 2025.
- The jacket is a replica inspired by his racing look, not a piece worn by the rider.
- Cowhide is the usual leather for racing-style jackets, valued for abrasion resistance.
- Under EN 17092 a jacket needs impact protectors at the shoulders and elbows to qualify for Classes AAA, AA or A.
Iannone and the 2025 WorldSBK Season
Iannone returned to racing in WorldSBK in 2024 and won at Aragon, his first victory in eight years, then renewed with the Pata GoEleven team for 2025 on the Ducati Panigale V4 R, according to WorldSBK.com. Superbike jackets and suits follow the team colours and sponsor graphics, and replicas copy that layout. A replica is an independent product inspired by the rider, with the maker's own materials and fittings.
Leather and Construction
Cowhide is widely used for racing-style jackets because it is thick and resists abrasion. Look for even, reinforced stitching and padding in high-stress areas, and check the lining and the closures. A snug cut keeps the jacket from shifting on the bike, but it should still allow you to reach the bars without the sleeves pulling back.
Armour and Protection Standards
Motorcycle jackets are tested under EN 17092. Classes AAA, AA and A require impact protectors at the shoulders and elbows, and EN 1621 governs how the protectors must be positioned over the body part (see SATRA). Class AAA is the highest class. A product listing should say which protectors are fitted and whether the jacket carries a rating, so confirm this before relying on it for track or road use.
Fit and Styling
A racing jacket is cut for a forward riding posture, with curved sleeves, so it can feel stiff when standing. Zippered cuffs and an adjustable waist help set the fit. Off the bike, the yellow colour and the Ducati-style graphics stand out with jeans and plain tees. For track use it can be paired with matching racing pants and a pair of , or compared with this .

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the jacket Andrea Iannone wore in 2025?
No. It is a replica inspired by his 2025 WorldSBK look with the Pata GoEleven Ducati. Materials, armour and construction are decided by the maker of the replica, so check the product page for the actual specification instead of assuming it matches the rider's own gear.
What does EN 17092 mean for a motorcycle jacket?
It is the European standard for motorcycle protective clothing, with Classes AAA, AA, A, B and C. Classes AAA, AA and A require impact protectors at the shoulders and elbows. A jacket is only rated if it has been tested to the standard, so check the label.
Should a racing jacket fit tightly?
It should fit snugly so that the jacket and the armour stay in place, but it must still let you reach the handlebars and turn your shoulders. Leather softens with wear, so a slightly firm fit at the start is normal. Measure over the layers you will wear underneath.
Can I wear a racing-style leather jacket every day?
Yes as casual wear, and a racing cut looks good with jeans and boots. For riding, check the EN 17092 class and the armour listed on the product page first. For care, follow the care label; the right cleaner or conditioner depends on the leather's finish.
