Protection: Armour and Standards
The jacket has removable armour at the shoulders and elbows, and the listing states EN 1621-1:2012 for these protectors. EN 1621-1 covers limb impact protectors and defines Level 1 and Level 2 by how much force an insert transmits in a drop test, with lower transmitted force at Level 2 (Wikipedia: motorcycle armour). The listing also describes a removable back protector and speed hump that it calls compatible with EN 1621-2, the standard for back protectors, with TPU-reinforced shoulder protectors and TPU elbow sliders.
Garments themselves are graded under EN 17092, where Class AAA is the highest class. A replica livery does not by itself state which class a jacket meets, so check the documentation supplied. Riders who want a jacket with a dedicated back support can compare the .

Frequently Asked Questions
How many WorldSBK titles did Jonathan Rea win?
Jonathan Rea won six consecutive WorldSBK titles from 2015 to 2020, all with Kawasaki. The 2019 title, on the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR, was his fifth in a row. He later rode for Yamaha and announced his retirement from full-time racing in August 2025.
Is this jacket an official team product?
No. It is a replica inspired by the Kawasaki Racing Team livery and the jacket Jonathan Rea wore in 2019. It is not produced by the team or the rider, and the names are used only to describe the design the jacket follows.
What armour does the jacket include?
The listing describes removable shoulder and elbow armour (EN 1621-1:2012) and a removable back protector and speed hump that it calls compatible with EN 1621-2. Check the marking on the protectors you receive. EN 1621 is the standard for motorcycle impact protectors, and armour only helps when it sits over the joints it covers.
What does Class AAA mean in EN 17092?
EN 17092 sorts motorcycle garments into classes AAA, AA, A, B and C. Class AAA is the highest class and is typically met by leather track suits, while Class A restricts movement the least. Check the documentation for a specific jacket rather than assuming the class from its styling.
