Andrea Dovizioso finished the 2018 MotoGP season as runner-up to Marc Marquez, with four wins for Ducati Team. The is a replica inspired by that season, made as a road-going leather jacket for Ducati and MotoGP fans.
Ducati MotoGP 2018 Livery
The product page describes a season-accurate red-and-white Ducati MotoGP 2018 livery. Dovizioso was also runner-up in 2017, and the 2018 campaign was the second of two consecutive second places behind Marquez, as covered in the Cycle News season review. The jacket is a replica inspired by his gear and has no connection with the team itself.
Leather and Construction
The shell is 1.2-1.3 mm drum-dyed milled cowhide. Cowhide is a traditional abrasion-resistant jacket material; abrasion performance depends on thickness and construction. Construction details listed on the product page:
- Safety stitching throughout the seams
- YKK semi auto-lock coil zippers at the front and cuffs
- Pre-curved sleeves for the riding position
- Cordura reinforcement at the sleeves (the listing describes it as Kevlar-look and does not state that it contains Kevlar)
- polyester mesh lining with one inner mesh chest pocket
Armor and Protection
The listing names removable CE Level 2 armor (EN 1621-1:2012) at the shoulders and elbows (the page also lists CE Level 2 as an add-on, so confirm what is included; no test certificate is shown), a removable spine protector that the listing describes as compatible with EN 1621-2 (not stated as tested to it), TPU-reinforced metal shoulder protectors and TPU elbow sliders. EN 1621 defines two performance levels, and Level 2 protectors transmit less force than Level 1 in the laboratory impact test, as the Wikipedia: motorcycle armor explains.
Options and Sizing
Buyers can choose a speed hump (none, standard, ventilated or hydro) and perforation (none, chest, front or full). Sizes are made to order, with men's sizes from EU 42 to 60, women's sizes from EU 38 to 50, and matching gloves offered.
Who the Jacket Suits
The jacket suits riders who want Ducati's red-and-white racing colors on the road and followers of Dovizioso's 2017 and 2018 seasons. It is a street jacket with race styling, so riders planning track sessions should check the track-day rules of their circuit, and check the circuit's own rules for what is required.
