Jonathan Rea won six consecutive Superbike World Championships from 2015 to 2020, all on a Kawasaki, and the last of them came in 2020 with Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK. The is a replica inspired by his 2020 leathers, a jacket for riders who follow the team; check the garment label for an EN 17092 class before road use.
Key Takeaways
- The jacket is a replica inspired by Rea's 2020 Kawasaki season, made to order in Kawasaki green, black or red.
- The product page lists 1.2-1.3 mm drum-dyed milled cowhide, removable Level 2 shoulder and elbow armour (EN 1621-1:2012) and a removable spine protector; ask for the test documentation if it matters.
- Speed hump and perforation choices let riders adapt the jacket to climate and riding position.
- EN 17092 classes rate a whole garment, so check the class on any jacket before relying on it for road use.
Materials and Protection
The product page describes the shell as 1.2-1.3 mm drum-dyed milled cowhide, with safety stitching throughout the seams and YKK semi auto-lock coil zippers. Leather of this weight is a common choice for race-style jackets; the garment's EN 17092 class shows how it was tested.
Armour and Sliders
- Shoulder and elbow armour: removable CE Level 2 protectors (EN 1621-1:2012), according to the product page.
- Back protection: a removable spine protector that the product page lists as compatible with EN 1621-2.
- External protection: TPU-reinforced metal shoulder protectors and TPU elbow sliders.
Both EN 1621 parts define two performance levels, and Level 2 protectors transmit less force than Level 1 in the laboratory impact test; the Wikipedia: motorcycle armour explains the thresholds. The standard for the garment itself is EN 17092, which grades jackets from AAA to C by abrasion and impact performance; see the SATRA overview of EN 17092. Buyers who need a graded jacket should confirm which class a specific model carries.
Fit and Comfort
Pre-curved sleeves follow the riding position and keep leather from bunching at the elbows, and Cordura stretch panels at the sleeves add movement. The lining is polyester mesh for ventilation, with an inner mesh chest pocket on the left side.
Each jacket can be configured with no hump, a standard, ventilated or hydro speed hump, and with no, chest, front or full perforation. Perforation suits warm climates, while a solid jacket gives more wind protection in cooler weather.
Kawasaki Colours and Related Gear
Kawasaki green is the signature colour of the team, and the jacket is also offered in black or red. Riders who prefer the current team style can look at the , while the recreates his earlier season on track.
The section collects his replicas, and the wider range covers other team items.
Made-to-Measure Sizing
Leather Collection also offers , cut from the rider's own measurements. A jacket protects most reliably when the armour sits over the joints it is meant to cover, and measured sizing helps keep the protectors in position instead of drifting during a ride.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this jacket an official Kawasaki Racing Team product?
No. It is a replica inspired by the livery Jonathan Rea used in 2020. Rea won six WorldSBK titles in a row from 2015 to 2020 with Kawasaki, and the jacket borrows the colours of that period for riders and fans. It is made to order by Leather Collection.
What do the EN 17092 classes mean?
EN 17092 grades motorcycle garments. Class AAA and AA require impact protectors at the elbows, shoulders, knees and hips, and AAA has the highest abrasion requirement. Class A is the minimum for protective jackets with armour, B matches A without protectors, and C covers impact protectors only.
Does the jacket include a back protector?
The product page lists a removable spine protector compatible with EN 1621-2, the European standard for back protectors. EN 1621-2 has Level 1 and Level 2, and Level 2 protectors transmit less force than Level 1 in the laboratory impact test. Riders can ask about protector options when ordering.
Can the jacket be ordered with perforation?
Yes. The configurator offers no perforation, chest, front or full perforation, plus no hump, standard, ventilated or hydro speed hump. Perforated leather improves airflow in heat but gives less wind protection, so riders in cooler regions often keep a solid jacket.
