BENEFITS
Motorcycle riding vests protect your core because kangaroo leather resists abrasion and wind while remaining lightweight for layered wear.

Reinforced pocket construction holds keys, phones, and documents securely during acceleration and stops.

BUYING GUIDANCE
What size should I choose? Use our Size Guide to measure chest, waist, and shoulder width with a fitted shirt. Order one size up if layering with a heavy jacket. Can I customize my vest? Yes—our Made to Measure service lets you adjust length, side width, hardware, and colors. How long does shipping take? Standard orders ship within 10 to 15 working days to 50+ countries via Shipping & Delivery. Kangaroo leather softens with use and develops a natural patina that protects the hide from UV damage.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Which motorcycle vest size should I choose if I layer with heavy jackets?
Order one size up from your chest measurement if you plan to layer the vest under a heavy winter jacket. This prevents binding at the shoulders and allows free arm movement during acceleration. Use our
Size Guide to measure your chest, waist, and shoulder width while wearing a fitted shirt—this baseline ensures the best fit for single-layer wear first. If you choose made-to-measure, you can specify exact layer thickness and preferred fit (snug or roomy). Standard sizes ship in 10 to 15 working days; custom orders take 4 to 6 weeks from spec confirmation.
What makes kangaroo leather better for riding vests than other hides?
Kangaroo leather resists abrasion during slides and tears, and it is lighter and more flexible than thicker hides, reducing shoulder fatigue on long rides. Race teams and professional riders favor kangaroo for these mechanical properties. Our vests use 1.2mm grain-side kangaroo with hand-stitched seams at collar, armhole, and waist—stress points that absorb repeated movement. Each vest is conditioned with leather oil before shipment so it arrives ready for immediate wear. The combination of material specification and hand-stitched construction supports durability through frequent use.
How do CE-rated armor vests protect compared to standard riding vests?
CE-rated armor vests include reinforced shoulder and back panels plus removable armor pockets that accept Level 1 or Level 2 impact protectors meeting EN 1621-1:2012 standards. Standard vests provide wind and abrasion resistance only. Armor vests distribute impact force across a wider surface area, reducing concentrated pressure during slides on track or road. The pocket design accepts industry-standard armor inserts so you can upgrade protection independently. Check your local track or event rules before choosing Level 1 or Level 2 certification. See our
Shipping & Delivery page for current armor availability by region.
Can I customize the fit and hardware on a made-to-measure vest?
Yes. Our
Made to Measure service adjusts sleeve length, torso length, side width, and waist taper to your exact measurements. You can also choose custom hardware (buckles, snaps, YKK zippers), embroidered patches, and custom colors in kangaroo or other leathers. The made-to-measure process begins after spec confirmation and takes 4 to 6 weeks for construction and hand-stitching. Use the
Size Guide to record your measurements accurately before placing your order. Contact our
Help Center if you have questions about fit preferences or material options during the order process.
How should I condition kangaroo leather to keep it soft and protected?
Condition your kangaroo leather vest every 6 to 12 months with leather conditioning oil to keep it supple and protect the grain from UV damage. Apply the oil in thin, even coats, wiping away excess with a soft cloth. For spot cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap, then condition that section afterward. Store your vest in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Regular conditioning helps the leather develop a natural patina—a protective darkening that enhances durability.
