PRE-SALE GENERAL QUESTIONS
Q: What is the difference between standard, Premium and Elite versions?
A: Standard version is ~1.2mm Buffalo leather and is suitable for entry level of motorcycle protection and ideal for use as a style and fashion accessory available at a relatively lower cost. Premium and elite versions is top layer 1.3mm-1.5mm cowhide skin, has a softer texture, thicker grain and is also pre-treated dye to allow better robustness against everyday wear and tear. We recommend the premium cowhide leather option for robust quality for everyday and track day usage for the best available protection in this price range.

Q: Why is there a surcharge for 2XL+ sizes?
A: The surcharge is a manufacturing supplier on cost due to additional leather material used on product in those sizes. The cost also covers the added weight for shipping and additional raw materials cost
Q: Do your leather suits have a full connecting zip?
A: Yes, as long as the jacket and trouser chosen are ordered together as a 2 piece suit and (ideally) in the same size or no more than one size difference apart, then it will get both full connection length zip as well as an 8" universal connecting zip. For example you can match a (L) jacket to an (M, L or XL) trouser or visa versa to get a ¾ zip. However if you chose an (XL) Trouser with a (M) jacket, it will only get an 8" rear connecting zip. (note: some designs do not allow for mixed jacket and trouser sizes. This will be identifiable from the product description. Of course there are also 1 piece suits that do not have a connecting zip

A: The Premium/Elite Cowhide (and Kangaroo) leather options is perfect for road and track day use as they are supplied with CE approved armour inserts. The Standard leather option is generally low speed road touring and occasional usage

YOU CAN ADD KANGAROO LEATHER TO ANY CUSTOM JACKET, TROUSER OR SUIT ORDER
You can only purchase the Kangaroo leather upgrade as a add-on (upgrade) for a regular order
0.9/1.0 mm thick top grain kangaroo leather specifically tanned for racing leather suits.
Of the many species of Kangaroo, many are protected in their habitat. However the unchecked reproduction of the largest breed has resulted in massive over-population and regular culls are carried out under the supervision of the Australian authorities allowing for free trade access to the best leather hide available on the market
Kangaroo leather is far more abrasion resistant than cowhide of the same thickness (check wiki facts here) and offers an incredible lightness and softness, perfect for those riders seeking the very best comfort and mobility for their races. This is because unlike cows and buffalo, Kangaroos only sweat through their tails and therefore there are no pores in the hide. Special tanning and drying methods mean kangaroo hide is resilient to moisture and so less likely to loose its shape or degrade over time
Kangaroo reaches 800 revolutions on the Martindale machine (P180 Sandpaper), while the tear strength is 80 N.
YOU CAN ADD A LEVEL 1 or LEVEL 2 LIMB AND BACK PROTECTOR UPGRADE TO ANY JACKET, TROUSER OR SUIT ORDER ON THE WEBSITE
Separately add to basket the Level 2 Armour Upgrade as a add-on (upgrade) for any regular order
