- The product page lists 1.2 to 1.3 mm cowhide, removable shoulder and elbow armor described as CE Level 2 and a removable spine protector; the page also lists CE Level 2 as a separate add-on, so confirm what is fitted by default.

Materials and Construction
The product page lists drum-dyed cowhide leather of 1.2 to 1.3 mm, safety stitching, stretch panels at the sleeves and calves, a 100% polyester mesh lining and pre-curved sleeves. The page gives no abrasion class; abrasion performance depends on the leather, the seams and the construction, and the EN 17092 class on a garment label is the test-based indicator.
Protection Features
The product page lists removable armor at the shoulders and elbows described as CE Level 2 (EN 1621-1:2012), a removable back (spine) protector described as compatible with EN 1621-2, and TPU elbow sliders. The same page also lists CE Level 2 (EN 1621-1:2012) as a separate add-on option, so it does not make clear whether that level is fitted by default; confirm this before ordering. The page does not state an EN 1621-2 level for the spine protector, and it names no test certificate. For EN 1621-1, SATRA gives the Level 1 limits as a mean maximum transmitted force below 35 kN with no single value over 50 kN; Level 2 is the stricter tier, with a mean below 20 kN. These figures describe the insert alone. Whole-garment classes under EN 17092 are a separate matter, and the product page states no EN 17092 class.
The page also lists carbon-reinforced metal shoulder protectors and a choice of speed hump. Riders who want a full suit can look at the .
Fit and Comfort
Pre-curved sleeves follow the arm position on the handlebars, and the polyester mesh lining helps with moisture; an optional thermal lining is listed. Racing cuts are close by design, so the right size or a made-to-measure fit matters.
The Aprilia Racing Look
The product page lists black, fluorescent red and fluorescent yellow options. For the Aprilia brand range, see the collection; the replica carries Iannone's number 29.
Final Thoughts
The Iannone 2019 jacket suits Aprilia fans who want a season-specific replica with removable armor and a removable spine protector. The product page holds the exact specification and options.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which team did Andrea Iannone ride for in 2019?
He rode for Aprilia Racing Team Gresini in MotoGP in 2019, using the number 29. The replica jacket takes its look from that season, and the product page lists its leather, armor and color options in detail for riders who want to compare it with other Aprilia gear.
Is this jacket the one Iannone raced in?
No. It is a replica inspired by the 2019 Aprilia look and his number 29. The cut, armor and options are those listed on the product page for this made-to-order jacket, not those of his own race leathers.
What does CE Level 2 armor mean?
CE here refers to impact protectors tested to EN 1621-1, the European standard for shoulder, elbow, knee and hip protectors. Level 2 is the stricter of its two levels: the mean force transmitted in the test must stay below 20 kN, against below 35 kN and 50 kN for Level 1. The level describes the insert alone, not the whole garment, and not every crash outcome.
Can a back protector be added to a race-style leather jacket?
Some jackets list a removable spine or back protector, and a separate insert is another option for riders who want one. Only fit a protector the maker states is compatible with that jacket, and ask before buying a separate insert. EN 1621-2 is the standard for back protectors; it has its own Level 1 and Level 2 limits, which cannot be compared with the limb-protector figures because the tests differ. The insert should be the right length for the rider and sit flat against the spine.
