2 Piece Suits

About

Two piece leather suits give you full circuit protection with the freedom to wear the jacket on its own. Macna and Difi build these as a zip-together jacket and pant pairing in cowhide leather, so you get track-day abrasion resistance without committing to a one piece every ride. A 2 piece leather suit splits a full set of cornering protection into a jacket and pants that zip together at the waist, usually around a 360 degree connecting zip. The cowhide shell carries the abrasion load in a slide, and leather sits at the AAA end of the EN 17092 abrasion scale. Macna vs Difi Both ranges here use cowhide leather, the benchmark shell for high-speed abrasion resistance on track.

A 1.2mm to 1.4mm cowhide hide resists a slide far longer than a textile rated only EN 17092 A or AA, which is why these suits run leather. Confirm CE armour fitment at the shoulders, elbows and back. CE Level 2 armour transmits no more than 20 kN of impact force, against 35 kN for CE Level 1, so Level 2 absorbs more energy. A back protector should meet EN 1621-2 and limb armour EN 1621-1. Fitment A leather suit should fit snug with a slight crouch built in. Pre-curved arms and a stretch panel let you reach 90 degrees over the tank without bunching. Size up if the chest pulls at full lock. Cowhide gives 2 to 5 percent over the first 500km of wear, so a firm new fit settles in.
