FAQs
What does CE Class AAA mean?
It is the highest safety rating for motorcycle protective clothing, indicating superior abrasion and tear resistance compared to lower classes.
Can I replace the knee sliders?
Yes, the suit is equipped with replaceable knee sliders, allowing you to swap them out as they wear down during track use.
Is the D3O armor removable?
Yes, the armor can be removed to allow for professional cleaning of the suit, but it should be re-inserted securely before your next ride.
How should I clean the suit?
Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft cloth for the exterior; do not submerge in water or use harsh chemical detergents.
Can this suit be used for street riding?
While designed for the track, it is perfectly suitable for street riding if you prioritize maximum safety, though it is less convenient than a two-piece textile set.
What temperature range is this suit best for?
The suit is best for mild to hot conditions due to the perforated panels; in cold weather, a windproof base layer is highly recommended.
Troubleshooting
Suit feels too tight or restricted in the shoulders
Ensure you are testing the fit in a full riding tuck; race suits are designed for the bike, not for standing upright.
Difficulty putting the suit on or taking it off
Ensure all internal base layers are smooth and not bunched. Consider using a moisture-wicking undersuit to reduce friction against the inner lining.
Zipper is sticking or stiff
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a small amount of dry lubricant designed for zippers; never force the mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the armor sits correctly over your joints while in your typical riding position. If the suit feels tight initially, allow for several hours of riding for the leather to mold to your body. When it comes to care, never store the suit damp; allow it to dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can crack the leather. Use a professional leather cleaner and conditioner periodically to keep the material supple. Regularly inspect your knee sliders and the condition of the triple stitching after any track outing, and ensure all zippers are kept clear of dirt and debris to maintain smooth operation.
