Leather and Race Suits
Leather is a long-established race suit material because it resists abrasion in a slide. How a given suit is built, including seams, lining, armour and hardware, should be read from its product page. For trackday use, riders should also check any requirements set by the organizer.
Standards and Protection
The MCG CE certification overview describes EN 17092 as the European standard that classes motorcycle clothing as AAA, AA, A, B or C. AAA suits are aimed at track use with high abrasion resistance and less flexibility; class B covers abrasion only and class C impact protectors only. Joint protectors are tested under EN 1621-1, with Level 1 and Level 2 defined by transmitted force. A replica design does not imply either rating by itself.
Fit and Who It Suits
The Lorenzo Ducati leathers suit riders who want a Ducati race look for the track or spirited road riding. In the riding position the arms and legs should not pull, the suit should not bunch behind the knees, and armour should stay over the joints. Matching gloves such as the complete the set.
