Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the suit Iannone wore at Jerez?

What leather and armour are listed?
The suit is listed in 1.2-1.3 mm drum-dyed milled cowhide with Cordura stretch panels. It lists removable dual-density armour at the shoulders, elbows, knees and hips described as EN 1621-1:2012 certified, and a removable spine protector described as compatible with EN 1621-2.
Is it a one-piece or two-piece suit?

What does EN 17092 cover?
EN 17092 is the European standard for motorcycle garments. EN 17092 has five classes: AAA, AA, A, B and C; AAA is the highest. It is separate from EN 1621-1, which covers the removable armour. Check the label of a specific garment, because a replica design does not by itself show a class.
