One-piece leather suits are a great option for riders that value safety, comfort and style. They are a popular choice for the racetrack and the road. Whether you’re looking for a classic design or the latest innovations, at FC-Moto, you’re sure to find the perfect leather suit for you.
The advantages of one-piece leather suits at a glance
One-piece leather suits have a few advantages:
Highest level of safety: Thanks to their seamless design, one-piece leather suits offer a consistent level of protection across the entire body. This increases the effectiveness of the integrated protectors and the leather material itself.
Lower risk of injury: Thanks to the snug fit and robust design, one-piece leather suits reduce the risk of items of clothing riding up or getting caught on something in the event of an accident. This further reduces the risk of injury.
Perfect fit: The preformed sleeves and legs ensure that the suit fits perfectly when in the riding position. Furthermore, the stretch panels provide the required freedom of movement and allow the rider to move freely without feeling restricted.
Improved aerodynamic properties: Thanks to their full-body design, one-piece leather suits have better aerodynamic properties. There are fewer connecting elements, such as seams or fasteners, which can interfere with the flow of air. This can be a particularly important factor for riders that reach high speeds.
Which features do one-piece leather motorcycle suits have?
One-piece leather suits are not just a fashion statement, they also have a wide range of practical features. These features optimize riding comfort, safety and functionality.
Integrated protectors: One-piece suits are designed with integrated protectors in important areas, such as the shoulders, elbows, knees and hips. These protectors offer increased protection in the event of a crash and reduce the risk of injury. Some leather suits are already equipped with or are compatible with back protectors or airbags.
Perforation for ventilation: Many motorcycle suits are designed with perforated areas. These areas enable optimal ventilation and air circulation, which helps to keep riders comfortable even when temperatures rise. Suits are often also fitted with a mesh lining. This also contributes to good ventilation.
Knee sliders: Some models are designed with removable knee sliders. Knee sliders provide support when the knee of the rider comes into contact with the floor when driving at extreme lean angles and they also provide increased abrasion resistance.
Preformed sleeves and legs: The suits are ergonomically designed and feature preformed sleeves and legs. This helps to support a natural riding position and increases riding comfort.
Stretch panels: Strategically placed stretch panels on the sides, under the arms and at the back of the knees provide improved flexibility. They also ensure a comfy fit and prevent the suit from restricting the rider’s freedom of movement.

FAQ about one-piece leather suits
Which types of leather are used for one-piece leather suits?
Various types of leather are used to produce these suits.
Cowhide is one of the most popular and most widely used types of leather for motorcycle clothing, including one-piece leather suits. This robust leather offers outstanding abrasion resistance and is incredibly durable. Thanks to this renowned durability, cowhide provides riders with reliable protection in the event of a fall or an accident. At the same time, it also offers a high level of comfort and flexibility.
Kangaroo leather is one of the most premium leathers used for motorcycle suits. It is known for its extraordinary strength and resistance to tearing. Kangaroo leather is lighter in weight and more flexible than cowhide, yet it still offers outstanding protection.
How do I find the right size for a one-piece leather motorcycle suit?
Getting the right size is a very important factor in ensuring that your suit fits properly, is comfortable and provides a high level of protection. Each brand can have slightly different sizing standards. Therefore, you should always look at the size table of the manufacturer whose suit you are considering. A one-piece leather suit should be a snug fit but should not be uncomfortable, while still offering sufficient freedom of movement. Make sure that the shoulder, elbow and knee protectors are in the correct position when the suit is on and that the suit is neither too tight nor too lose. The most important factor is that the suit fits well when you are sitting on your motorcycle in the riding position. That is why we have a “test motorcycle” in our brick-and-mortar store that you can use when trying on a suit. Of course, when you are at home you can do this easily on your own motorcycle. Keep in mind that when you are standing and walking, one-piece suits can tend to be slightly less comfortable than they are when you are sitting. The suit can have folds or the buttocks area can “sag” slightly. This depends on the fit and model of the suit.
Are one-piece leather suits a comfortable option for longer journeys?
Yes, one-piece leather suits can be comfortable even on longer journeys – especially when they fit well and are ergonomically designed. Modern one-piece suits are often designed with preformed sleeves and legs that support a natural riding position and prevent pressure points and unpleasant chafing.
Many models also have perforated leather areas and strategically positioned ventilation openings that ensure good air circulation. This helps to regulate the rider’s body temperature and prevent excessive sweating, which enables the rider to stay comfortable and dry – even on long journeys. Getting the right functional underwear can also offer improved comfort. A two-piece leather suit is an even more comfortable and practical alternative, since these suits are easier to put on and take off and also provide additional flexibility. However, a two-piece suit is generally not recommended for the racetrack.
