Miguel Oliveira made his MotoGP debut in 2019 with the Red Bull KTM Tech3 team, riding number 88 after finishing runner-up in Moto2 with KTM the previous year. He ended the season 17th overall with 33 points.
The , from Leather Collection, is a replica inspired by the apparel of that rookie campaign, hand-stitched and made to order for street and track riders who like KTM factory styling.
Key Takeaways
- Oliveira debuted in MotoGP in 2019 with Red Bull KTM Tech3, riding number 88.
- The jacket is a replica inspired by that rookie-year livery, not team merchandise.
- A race-style jacket relies on abrasion-resistant leather, strong seams and removable armor.
- A back protector pocket lets a rider add spine protection suited to their riding.
Built for Road and Track Use
A jacket in this style borrows from race leathers: a cowhide shell, reinforced stitching and a cut shaped for the riding position. It is intended for riders who want race-derived styling for track days and fast road riding.
Construction Details to Look For
- Cowhide shell: abrasion-resistant leather is the main barrier between skin and asphalt in a slide.
- Stretch panels: elastic inserts at the underarms and inner sleeves let the rider reach the bars without the jacket pulling.
- Safety stitching: double or triple seams at stress points are what keep the panels attached when the shell is loaded.
Protection Basics
The Oliveira replica is a race-style jacket; the product page is the place to check which armor and sliders it includes, and a back protector pocket makes it possible to fit a protector made to EN 1621-2, the European standard for back protectors, which SATRA describes as defining two performance levels by transmitted force. No jacket removes injury risk, so fit and a matching protector choice matter.
Fit and Comfort
Pre-curved sleeves follow the arm position on the handlebars and reduce bunching of the leather, while a mesh lining wicks moisture and perforated panels are a common option for summer riding. A jacket cut for the riding position is more comfortable than a straight cut when the rider spends hours leaning forward.
The Red Bull KTM Look
The replica reproduces the orange, black and white Red Bull KTM Tech3 colors and the number 88, applied as leather patchwork. Riders who like the Oliveira connection can also look at the , or browse for other riders. A later KTM option is the .
Final Thoughts
For fans of Oliveira's first MotoGP season, the jacket is a way to carry the 2019 KTM look on the road. The construction points above apply to any race-style jacket and are the checks worth making before choosing one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this jacket suitable for track days?
A race-style leather jacket is cut for the riding position, but many tracks require a one-piece suit or a jacket zipped to pants. Riders should check the rules of the organizer or circuit before booking. For fast road riding, a cowhide jacket with armor and a back protector pocket is a common choice.
What does a back protector pocket do?
It holds a separate back protector inside the jacket. EN 1621-2 is the European standard for such protectors, and it defines two performance levels based on transmitted force in impact tests. Whether a protector is included depends on the listing, so riders should confirm what is supplied and add one if needed.
Is this an official Red Bull KTM product?
No. It is a replica inspired by the Red Bull KTM Tech3 look Miguel Oliveira raced in during 2019. It is not made by, or affiliated with, the team, sponsors or the rider. Leather Collection makes it by hand to order.
