Leather and Construction
At the core of a racing suit is the leather. Race suits are generally built from cowhide, and the exact thickness and leather grade of this suit are on its product page. The job of the leather is abrasion resistance in a slide, so buyers should rely on the labeled standard, not marketing language.
Reading the Safety Standard
The European standard for motorcycle clothing is EN 17092. The SATRA overview of EN 17092 lists classes AAA, AA, A, B and C across parts 2 to 6. In classes AAA and AA, elbow, shoulder, knee and hip protectors are mandatory; in class A hip protectors are optional. The abrasion test slides specimens on a real concrete surface, and a garment passes only if no holes of 5 mm or more open in the layer closest to the body. A suit is rated only when the maker has had it tested.
Protection Features
Race suits combine several parts, and each has a purpose.
- Internal armor: removable protectors at the shoulders, elbows and knees, with a spine protector in many suits.
- External sliders: sliders on the shoulders and elbows, and replaceable knee sliders, help the suit slide and take wear.
- Seams: strong thread and multiple stitching are used because seams are a weak point in a slide.
Aerodynamics and Comfort
A speed hump on the back helps manage airflow over the rider in a tuck. Stretch panels in the crotch, underarms and behind the knees keep the suit from restricting movement. A mesh lining helps moisture and air circulate, and perforated leather panels are an option for warm climates.
The 2019 Pramac Ducati Look
The suit draws on the Ducati colors of the Pramac team as a replica inspired by the 2019 livery, not as official team clothing. Riders who prefer the Ducati look in two pieces can browse the category or the . Others may want to explore the wider range.
Why Choose This Suit?
A racing suit performs only when it fits closely, so the made-to-measure option is the main reason to look at Leather Collection. The brand has operated since 2009 and makes its products by hand-stitching to order. The suit can be made to the rider's own measurements, which helps align the armor with the joints.
Final Thoughts
The Jack Miller MotoGP 2019 suit is a replica inspired by a season at Pramac Ducati. For riders considering it, the checklist is simple: protection class on the label, armor position, comfort features and a close fit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which team did Jack Miller ride for in MotoGP 2019?
Miller rode for Pramac Racing on a Ducati in the 2019 MotoGP season, using race number 43. The suit described here is a replica inspired by that look and is not official team clothing, so riders should read the product page for the materials and protection details.
What does EN 17092 class AAA mean?
Class AAA is the highest level in EN 17092, the European standard for motorcycle clothing. Elbow, shoulder, knee and hip impact protectors are mandatory in AAA and AA garments. A suit only counts as rated when the maker has had the exact garment tested and labeled.
What is the speed hump on a race suit for?
The hump on the back is an aerodynamic feature that helps manage airflow over the rider in a tuck. It is common on MotoGP-style suits and is unrelated to the abrasion protection of the leather.
Can the suit be made to my measurements?
Yes. Leather Collection hand-stitches to order and offers made-to-measure suits. Measurements are taken from the rider, so the armor can be aligned with the knees, elbows and shoulders. Check the product page for the options listed for this suit.
