-- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS --
Is the Michael van der Mark Yamaha Riding Leathers WSBK 2020 built for track use?
This race-style leather suit is designed for World Superbike track use. It uses 1.2 to 1.3 mm top-grain leather for abrasion resistance. CE-approved dual-density armor sits at shoulders, elbows, knees, and spine. Extra leather panels and reinforced stitching add crash-scuff protection at impact points. The suit includes pre-curved sleeves and accordion panels for an aggressive position. Removable knee sliders and a speed hump are available on request. This makes it suitable for track days and sport riding on roads. If you plan long touring, consider suits with more ventilation and touring features.
What materials and armor does this Yamaha riding leathers suit use?
The suit combines top-grain cowhide and CE-certified protectors for impact management. Thick 1.2 to 1.3 mm leather resists abrasion during slides and scuffs. CE-approved dual-density armor at shoulders, elbows and knees absorbs and spreads energy. Additional leather layers and foam padding reduce local deformation on impact zones. A removable CE spine protector adds extra coverage for the backbone area. All protection is removable for cleaning or replacement when needed. This setup suits riders who want high protection and track performance balance. No gear can guarantee injury prevention in a crash scenario.
How should I choose the correct size for a leather race suit?
For the best fit, use body measurements over ready-to-wear sizing charts. Measure chest, waist, hips, shoulder width, arm length and inseam accurately. Compare your numbers with the suit's size chart on the product page. The suit has pre-curved sleeves for a tucked riding position. If you ride aggressively, account for torso and shoulder clearance when choosing size. When between sizes, choose the larger size for comfort and armor fit. We can help with measurements and recommend alterations for a bespoke fit. Contact customer support with your measurements for personalized size guidance before purchase.
Can I wear this race suit on the street and for longer rides?
This race suit is primarily designed for track and high-performance riding. Its leather weight and armor layout favor slide management over long-distance comfort. The suit includes a mesh lining and stretch panels for reasonable comfort on roads. Ventilation is limited compared with textile touring gear and vented race suits. Use it on street commutes and short sport rides without expecting long hot-weather comfort. Track-day riders and club racers will appreciate the suit's protection and ergonomics. For long touring, consider a touring-focused leather or textile suit with more vents. It can be adapted with optional rubber padding or a race hump on request.
How do I clean and maintain Yamaha leather riding leathers to keep them in top condition?
Clean and condition leather regularly to preserve suppleness and abrasion resistance. Use a mild leather cleaner, soft cloth, and dedicated leather conditioner only. Remove armor and knee sliders before cleaning to protect the parts and lining. Avoid washing machines, harsh detergents, and direct heat from radiators or sun. Dry slowly at room temperature and follow up with light leather conditioner application. Store on a wide hanger in a cool, ventilated place away from sunlight. If zippers or seams need repair, use a leather specialist for best results. Check Velcro straps and zippers before each ride for secure fastening.
