FAQs
Is this suit suitable for all types of motorcycle riding?
The RST Tractech Evo 5 CE Leather Suit is primarily designed for sport and track riding due to its race fit and aerodynamic features. While it offers excellent protection, it may be less comfortable for touring or commuting compared to more relaxed-fit gear.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart for the Tractech Evo 5 suit. It's crucial to measure accurately, particularly chest, waist, and inseam, and consider your riding posture when checking the fit.
Can I wear protective gear underneath this suit?
Yes, the suit is designed to accommodate CE-approved armor. You can also wear a back protector and a hydration pack underneath, though adding too much bulk may affect the fit and comfort.
What is the benefit of the aerodynamic hump?
The aerodynamic hump helps to reduce drag by smoothing airflow over the rider's back at high speeds. This can improve performance and reduce fatigue on the track or during spirited riding.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every 6-12 months, or more frequently if the suit is exposed to harsh weather conditions or frequently used. This helps maintain its suppleness and longevity.
Is the suit waterproof?
No, leather motorcycle suits are generally not waterproof. While they offer some resistance to light moisture, they are not designed for riding in heavy rain. Consider a separate waterproof outer layer if needed.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or stuck
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or beeswax) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth and try again.
Inner lining feels uncomfortable or bunched
Remove the inner lining and re-install it, ensuring it is flat and correctly positioned before wearing the suit.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a quality leather conditioner according to the product's instructions. Allow it to penetrate, then buff off any excess.
Suit feels too tight in the riding position
Ensure the suit is the correct size. Minor tightness can sometimes be alleviated by ensuring the inner lining is correctly positioned and that no underlayers are creating excessive bulk.

- Conditioning: Periodically treat the leather with a quality leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent cracking, especially after significant use or exposure to moisture.
