Collection: Race Suits

Motorcycle race suits are one-piece or two-piece leather garments designed to provide maximum protection, aerodynamics, and performance for track riding and professional racing, representing the pinnacle of rider safety equipment. Constructed primarily from full-grain cowhide or kangaroo leather (kangaroo is lighter, stronger, and more abrasion-resistant pound-for-pound), race suits feature pre-curved ergonomic patterns that match aggressive riding positions, strategically placed accordion stretch panels at joints for flexibility, and extensive CE-certified armor at shoulders, elbows, knees, hips, and back. Premium suits incorporate external hard sliders made from Delrin, Teflon, or titanium at shoulders, elbows, and knees that allow controlled sliding during crashes rather than tumbling, protecting both rider and suit material. Advanced safety features include double or triple-stitched seams with high-tensile thread, perforation patterns for ventilation without compromising protection, aerodynamic speed humps that reduce buffeting and can house hydration systems or back protectors, and increasingly integrated airbag systems like Alpinestars Tech-Air or Dainese D-Air that deploy in milliseconds upon detecting a crash to protect the chest, back, shoulders, and collarbones. Top manufacturers like Alpinestars, Dainese, and custom makers like 1self offer suits ranging from entry-level track suits to professional race-spec suits with MotoGP-derived technology. Two-piece suits with 360-degree zippers allow separation into jacket and pants for convenience while maintaining one-piece protection when zipped together, while custom-fitted suits provide the best protection and comfort through precise measurements. Race suits often feature sponsor panel areas, removable liners, replacement knee sliders, and compatibility with neck braces and chest protectors, making them essential for anyone serious about track days, club racing, or professional competition where the consequences of crashing at 100+ km demand the absolute best protection available.
