EN 17092 is the European standard for complete motorcycle garments. It has five classes: AAA (highest protection, mostly race and sport), AA (touring and adventure), A (light urban), B (abrasion-resistant without impact protectors) and C (base layers that hold protectors). Only a garment tested by a notified body can carry a class.

The unit cost of a custom leather race suit depends mainly on the leather (cowhide or kangaroo), armour level, construction details, branding, order quantity and freight. At Moto Armor a paid sample starts from USD 189 before freight, and the written quote gives the exact bulk unit price for your specification and quantity.

Kangaroo leather is lighter and more supple than cowhide while offering similar abrasion resistance, because its fibres run in a more uniform direction. Cowhide in 1.2–1.4 mm is tougher-feeling, more widely available and costs less. Most brands use cowhide, with kangaroo for premium race suits or selected panels.

To measure for a custom leather race suit, take chest, waist, hip, thigh, knee, calf, inseam, outside leg, sleeve, shoulder width, back length and height, ideally with a helper and wearing the base layer you ride in. Measure the arms and legs bent as on the bike so the suit fits in a riding position.

Leather motorcycle jackets give the best abrasion resistance and a close sport fit, so they suit track, sport and street riding. Textile jackets are lighter, more weatherproof and better ventilated, so they suit touring, adventure and commuting. Both can carry the same CE armour.

CE Level 2 armour lets less impact force through to your body than Level 1. Under EN 1621-1, limb protectors are hit with 50 joules: Level 1 must transmit an average of 35 kN or less, Level 2 an average of 20 kN or less. The rating covers the insert only, not the whole garment.

MOQ (minimum order quantity) is the smallest bulk run a factory will produce per style. At Moto Armor it is 50 units per style, or 10 units for one-piece leather race suits, after you approve a paid sample. Sizes can be split within that quantity; extra colourways are agreed on the quote.
