Materials and Construction
- Cowhide: 1.2-1.3 mm drum-dyed and milled, with Monaco and kangaroo leather offered as upgrades.
- Stretch panels: accordion leather panels at the lower back and knees, plus Cordura inserts at the sleeves, crotch and calf.
- Closures: YKK semi auto-lock zippers at the front, cuffs and calves.
- Lining: polyester mesh, with an optional removable thermal lining.
Protection Features and What the Standard Means
The 2021 suit lists these protective parts:
- Removable dual-density armour listed as EN 1621-1:2012 at the shoulders, elbows, knees and hips (the seller's wording; no test documents are shown)
- A spine protector described as EN 1621-2 compatible; the listing says compatible and does not state that the spine protector is certified to EN 1621-2, so check the label before relying on it
- A CE Level 2 (EN 1621-1:2012) armour add-on shown in the order form, so the armour level depends on the options chosen
- TPU-reinforced metal protectors at key impact zones
- Removable knee sliders
EN 1621-1 is the European standard for limb joint protectors. It measures the force transmitted through the armour when a weight strikes it, and Level 2 allows less transmitted force than Level 1. The standard describes laboratory performance only and is not a promise about injury outcomes. SATRA summarizes the EN 1621 test method and its two performance levels.
Fit, Hump and Perforation Options
Pre-curved sleeves support a tucked riding position. The listing offers a speed hump choice (none, standard, ventilated or hydro), perforation (none, chest, front or full) and builds as 1-piece, 2-piece, jacket-only or pant-only. Riders who prefer separate pieces can compare .
Perforation helps airflow on hot days; it is a trade-off with the closed leather of an unperforated suit, so riders should choose it with their typical use in mind.
Who the Suit Is For
- Track-day riders who want a Kawasaki WSBK-themed race suit
- Fans of Jonathan Rea and the Kawasaki Racing Team
- Collectors of WSBK replica gear

The Jonathan Rea Kawasaki WSBK 2021 suit is a replica for riders who want a track-style suit linked to a specific superbike season, with the armour and construction named in its listing.
