The competition suits worn by MotoGP riders are handmade thanks to professionals and specialists who create them to measure. And it is that, for the suit to do its job, the garment must offer protection to the pilot, but also a perfect fit with his body, so the creation of a suit means involvement down to the last detail.

As a general rule, all suits are made up of 13 pieces of leather cut and sewn by hand during a long process that can take up to eight hours. One of the reasons for the lengthy process is that all suits are equipped with their own airbag , which offers the necessary protection for a racing driver. As you can see through the gallery, the Italian brands Alpinestars and Dainese are the firms that are most involved in the MotoGP riders’ suits.

For the airbag to work correctly, the suit must offer and have some sensors in charge of finding out if the pilot is on the track or not, a condition that will mark a before and after to identify if the pilot has suffered a fall or can define, solely, as a save.

If we are facing the first scenario, the airbag is expected to activate instantly. For this reason, the quality of the drivers’ uniform must be up to par without neglecting the ability to represent, through the colors of the sponsors and those of the team itself, the identity of the driver himself.
