Buy a functional leather suit: How to find a sporty motorcycle suit with optimal protection

Fast speeds, sleek machines and exciting routes. For passionate motorcyclists, there is no better experience than the thrill of fast rides. Every tour requires a suitable motorcycle suit in the trendy biker look made of leather or textile. Modern motorcycle clothing not only looks really cool on you, it also ensures your safety on all journeys in traffic, which unfortunately can sometimes be very dangerous for motorcyclists.

To ensure that you can continue to enjoy your passion for a long time and continue to ride your bike safely and carefree on the streets, you should equip yourself with a robust leather motorcycle suit.

From our many years of experience, we know that certain questions always arise when you or other customers want to buy a motorcycle suit. We help you keep track of things when you buy a motorcycle or leather suit by providing you with all kinds of useful information.

We will provide you with answers to the following questions:


This is what you should consider when buying a motorcycle suit:

This is mandatory for proper, functional motorcycle clothing:

Motorcycle clothing, in the form of a motorcycle suit, should primarily be protective clothing. Since wearing a helmet is compulsory in Germany, the question often arises as to whether there are also regulations for the rest of the clothing. However, there is no legal regulation that requires the wearing of specific protective clothing. An exception is the training period and the practical driving test for two-wheelers: here, wearing protective clothing is compulsory. But regardless of whether it is required by law or not: high-quality protective clothing should always be your first choice to significantly increase your safety on the road.

How to recognize safe motorcycle clothing when buying a leather suit:

Although there are no legal regulations, apart from the requirement to wear a helmet, there is a European standard for protective motorcycle clothing. This is very useful if you want to buy a leather suit, because you can use the standard to determine the quality of the various protective pads and protectors on the clothing. You can recognize the quality-tested protectors by the EN 1621 standard.

Another helpful tip to help you identify good protective clothing is to pay attention to the correct placement of the protectors. These should be on the knees, hips, shins, back, shoulders, elbows, hips and even ankles. In general, the thicker and larger the protectors are, the more safety they offer.

The perfect fit? This is how your motorcycle suit fits perfectly:

You are the best person to tell whether your chosen motorcycle suit fits properly. We strongly advise you to try out several suits if you want to buy a new leather suit. This way you can see which suit suits you best. With a few little tricks you can easily tell if something is wrong: Pay attention to whether folds in the back of the knees are uncomfortable or uncomfortable in the pelvic area. Are the protectors in the right places so that they do not restrict your freedom of movement?

It is important that areas where there is a risk of chafing are double-stitched as a precaution. Stretch inserts guarantee more comfort and better freedom of movement. You should also bear in mind that you may want to wear something underneath your leather suit. Make sure that you have enough space for this.

Should I buy a textile or leather suit? Which is better?

The answer to this question is always very personal: it often depends on your own taste. Both textile and leather suits have convincing advantages. However, if you buy a leather suit, you will get much more reliably fitting protectors and greater abrasion resistance thanks to the tighter cut compared to textile suits.

You don't need to worry about heat build-up when wearing a leather suit. Thanks to targeted perforations and the sun-repellent "Cool Leather". Sporty drivers in particular rely on leather suits. They are always comfortable to wear and are nowhere near as heavy as is often feared.

How to decide between a multi-piece and a one-piece suit:

If you want to buy a leather suit that is as flexible as possible, you should choose a multi-piece suit. This gives you more flexible options when wearing it, so that you can leave out certain parts of the suit depending on your needs.

This is what you can wear under a motorcycle suit:

Here you can act flexibly according to your personal needs, depending on how much space there is under your suit. With special motorcycle underwear, for example, you can specifically regulate heat and cold and ensure breathability. The underwear is also windproof, insulating and water-repellent. Otherwise, you can also protect yourself against the cold with warm sweaters.

How to care for and clean your new motorcycle or leather suit:

When you buy a new leather suit, you naturally want it to last a long time. With the right care and cleaning tips, you can maintain the quality of the material and increase the longevity of your suit when you buy a motorcycle suit. With leather suits, it is very advisable to rub them regularly. To do this, use leather grease or other recommended leather care products. However, always use the leather grease sparingly. This will keep the material supple and prevent moisture from penetrating.

We also recommend a waterproofing spray, which you should ideally spray on before greasing when you buy a motorcycle suit. When cleaning, it is better to avoid using the washing machine.
