The sizes for motorcycle suits correspond to the regular clothing sizes for men, women and children, as they are also specified for everyday clothing.

In addition to the "normal sizes", there are also short and long sizes for adults. These are cut in the same width as their normal size equivalent, but the sleeves and legs are correspondingly shorter or longer.

Manufacturers sometimes interpret clothing sizes differently. You can usually find information about how the motorcycle suit of your choice turns out in the reviews of other buyers on the pages of online shops.

The right leather suit for you must fit snugly, but at the same time not restrict your movements.

To check whether the fit is right, it's best to sit on your bike with the suit on after delivery. If the outfit doesn't flap, pinch or squeeze, you've found the right suit for you.

What you wear underneath is largely up to you and depends primarily on the weather.

Functional underwear for him and her is very suitable. The long version keeps you pleasantly warm. The materials are also breathable. This ensures optimal moisture management and you won't sweat too much on your summer tours.

No, not all motorcycle suits are waterproof. Textile suits with a Gore-Tex membrane offer the best possible weather protection.

Leather suits usually lack this weather protection membrane and are therefore not waterproof.

Motorcycle clothing made of leather should not be washed in a washing machine. You should only wipe them with a damp cloth.

Textile suits, on the other hand, can usually be washed on a gentle cycle at 30 degrees without any problems. It is best to use a special detergent for this purpose.

Remember to remove the protectors before putting your suit in the washing machine.

Rubbing leather grease into your leather suit after cleaning ensures that it remains supple and that the material retains its durability.

Textile motorcycle suits should be treated regularly with a waterproofing spray. This seals the surface, protects it from dirt and refreshes the weather protection.
