A2Difficulty 3/5

In ordinary road riding, is a motorcyclist required to wear specifically a full leather suit?

Correct answer

That specific suit is not required; suitable motorcycle gear is recommended.

That specific suit is not required. Suitable motorcycle clothing with abrasion resistance, protectors and a proper fit is recommended; it may be leather or technical textile. Leather is not always the best choice for every temperature or rainfall. Choosing clothing for the conditions does not replace the helmet or other applicable compulsory equipment and does not guarantee avoiding injury.
