Leon Haslam and BMW in 2011

Materials and Construction
- Cowhide: 1.2-1.3 mm drum-dyed, milled cowhide, with Monaco and kangaroo leather offered as upgrades.
- Stretch panels: accordion panels at the lower back and knees, and Cordura panels at the sleeves, crotch and calf.
- Stitching: double and triple-stitched seams at critical areas.
- Closures: YKK semi-auto-lock coil zippers, with Velcro-reinforced straps at the neck, cuffs and calves.
Protection Features and What the Standard Means
While the styling follows the racing history of Motorrad, the listing describes the protective parts as follows:
- Removable dual-density armor described as EN 1621-1:2012 Level 2 at the shoulders, elbows, knees and hips
- A removable spine protector described as EN 1621-2 compatible
- Carbon-reinforced metal protectors at the shoulders and knees
- Replaceable TPU elbow and knee sliders
EN 1621-1 is the European standard for limb joint protectors. It measures the force transmitted through the armor when a weight strikes it, and Level 2 allows less transmitted force than Level 1. The standard describes laboratory performance only and is not a promise about injury outcomes. SATRA summarizes the EN 1621 test method and its two performance levels.
Fit and Comfort
Pre-curved sleeves support a tucked riding position, and the stretch panels let the suit move with the rider. The suit has a soft neoprene cuff and collar and a polyester mesh lining, and the listing offers a choice of speed hump (standard, ventilated or hydro) and perforation from none to full coverage.
