This jacket uses 1.2–1.3mm chrome-tanned cowhide with a matte finish. Chrome tanning produces leather that resists water better than vegetable-tanned hides and maintains flexibility across temperature ranges. The grain surface is smooth and uniform, typical of corrected-grain cowhide used in mid-tier riding gear. This thickness provides moderate abrasion resistance suitable for street and light sport riding, but it’s not comparable to the 1.4–1.6mm hides used in track or aggressive sport touring jackets.
White leather shows dirt, road grime, and scuff marks immediately. The matte finish will patina unevenly and discolor with UV exposure, sweat, and handling. Cowhide at this weight breaks in within 2–3 weeks of regular use but won’t develop the character aging seen in vegetable-tanned or aniline-dyed leathers.
Cordura stretch panels are integrated into the sleeves. This reduces bulk in high-flex zones and improves mobility, but it compromises abrasion resistance where the leather ends. Cordura is impact- and tear-resistant but slides poorly compared to leather in a crash. The stripe pattern mimics Kevlar visually but is not aramid fiber.
Construction & Riding Functionality
- Pre-curved sleeves aid forward riding posture but no details provided on back yoke or shoulder articulation
- Side adjustment belts allow torso fit tuning and prevent jacket lift at speed
- No mention of stretch gussets, accordion panels, or action pleats in the back—mobility depends entirely on Cordura inserts
- YKK zippers at front, cuffs, and back ventilation or access points (spec unclear)
- Polyester mesh lining offers minimal thermal management—suitable for moderate temperatures only
- No wind flap behind main zipper mentioned
Hardware & Internal Details
- YKK front closure and cuff zippers—durable and standard for this category
- CE-approved armor pockets at shoulders, elbows, and back spine—removable for cleaning or replacement
- Removable back hump (aerodynamic hunch pad)—adds stability at speed and light impact coverage
- Mesh lining is non-insulated and provides airflow in warm conditions but no cold-weather retention
- No details on pocket configuration, collar type, or cuff closure mechanism
Intended Rider Use
- Sport touring or sport street riding in dry to moderate weather
- Riders looking for CE-rated protection with some stretch mobility
- White colorway suited to warm climates or high-visibility preference, but requires frequent cleaning
- Not recommended for off-road, rain-heavy regions, or riders prioritizing long-term aesthetic durability
- Suitable for riders transitioning from textile gear who want leather with armor compatibility
This is a functional sport-touring jacket with basic protection and hybrid construction. The white leather will require maintenance to avoid permanent staining.

Our Expertise in Racing Gear
We are MotogpGears.us, a US-based leather racing gear manufacturer and seller registered as MOTOGP GEARS LLC in Sacramento, California. We manufacture and sell racing suits, jackets, pants, boots, and gloves — and every piece can be customized to your order at no extra cost.
We have been making motorcycle racing gear since 2018. We don’t resell generic stock. We build garments using bovine and kangaroo leather sourced from tanneries in Italy, Turkey, and Pakistan — the same tanneries that supply professional motorsport manufacturers. We know the difference between a suit built for a track crash and one built to look like one. That difference is in every seam, every zipper, and every protector we choose.
Our Expertise in Racing Gear
Every garment we sell is built to a fixed quality standard. Here is exactly what goes into each piece:
Bovine leather from certified tanneries in Italy, Turkey, and Pakistan. Kangaroo leather available on request for lighter, stronger build.
Original YKK brand only, with auto-block cursor system. No off-brand zippers.
Elastic panels — Keprotec by Schoeller, sourced from Switzerland. Abrasion-resistant, fire-resistant, and form-fitting.
Thread & stitching — Schoeller and Amann technical threads throughout. Kevlar thread used on all critical seams. All garments use double and triple security seams.
Crash reinforcement — High-impact zones (shoulders, elbows, knees, hips) are double-layered. First layer absorbs abrasion. Second layer stops perforation.
Customization — Every suit and jacket is built to your measurements and design at no additional charge.
Safety Certifications We Stock
All protectors used in our garments are homologated and tested. We work with certified armor manufacturers — SAS-TEC, BETAC, 3DO, and KNOX. These are not generic foam inserts. They are CE-certified impact protectors tested under EN 1621-1 (limbs) and EN 1621-2 (back) standards.
EN 1621-1
Shoulder, elbow, knee protectors
Level 1 & Level 2
EN 1621-2
Back protectors
Level 2 (preferred)
EN 13595
Full racing suits (abrasion, seam strength, impact)
Applied on race suits
Outer titanium protectors are also available on select suits. All protections are secured with velcro for correct positioning during impact — not loose-fit pockets.
If a product listing shows a CE rating, it means the specific armor included in that garment carries that certification. We do not list unverified CE claims.
Materials & Protection Explained
Here is what is actually inside your suit or jacket from MotogpGears.us:
Leather shell — Bovine cowhide is our standard outer shell. It is sourced from tanneries in Italy, Turkey, and Pakistan and is graded specifically for motorcycle gear manufacturing — not fashion leather. Kangaroo leather is available for riders who want higher strength at lower weight.
Elastic panels — Keprotec (Schoeller, Switzerland) is used on all stretch zones — sides, underarms, crotch area. It stretches with your body but resists abrasion if you go down.
Armor — Certified protectors from SAS-TEC, BETAC, 3DO, and KNOX sit in shoulder, elbow, back, and knee pockets. All are CE-tested. Back protectors are EN 1621-2 Level 2 as standard on race suits. Velcro attachment keeps each protector locked in the correct impact zone.
Double-layer crash zones — Shoulders, elbows, knees, and hips use two layers of leather. The outer layer handles road abrasion. The inner layer stops anything from reaching your skin.
Zippers — YKK only, with auto-lock cursor. They will not open in a crash.
