Materials and Construction
The product page lists 1.2-1.3 mm drum-dyed cowhide with pre-curved sleeves, safety-stitched seams with reinforced stress points, and YKK semi-auto-lock coil zippers. The lining is 100% polyester mesh, with Cordura fabric accents at the underarms and cuffs.
Protection Features
The listed protection is removable CE Level 2 armour at the shoulders and elbows (EN 1621-1:2012), TPU elbow sliders, and a removable spine protector compatible with EN 1621-2.
What CE Level 2 Means
Under EN 1621-1, Level 1 protectors transmit an average force below 35 kN in the standard impact test, and Level 2 protectors transmit below 20 kN. Back protectors under EN 1621-2 use stricter limits: below 18 kN for Level 1 and below 9 kN for Level 2 (Motorcycle armour on Wikipedia). The figures describe laboratory results and do not promise a result in a crash.
Fit in the Riding Position
2015 replica jacket has pre-curved sleeves for the racing tuck, and armour works only when it sits over the shoulder and elbow while the rider is on the bike. The product page notes that custom sizing is available for riders whose measurements fall between standard sizes. For another Yamaha option, the range has suits and jackets, and the covers a later season.

Final Thoughts
The 2015 Rossi jacket suits fans who want the Movistar Yamaha colours with a listed specification of Level 2 armour and a spine protector. As with any riding jacket, fit and armour position matter more than the graphics.
