Wearing a one-piece leather suit is such a commitment; they’re a chore to put on, you’re stuck in a racer-like position even if you don’t want to be, and most importantly, what do you do when nature calls and you have to pee? That last reason must be why apparel manufacturers decided to make two-piece leathers. Offering nearly the same amount of protection as their one-piece counterparts, two-piece suits are way more convenient for those who only see the track every once and a while. As you can probably guess, two-piece suits consist of a jacket and pants combination that zip together in the middle via a circumference zip. This is important since there are some jacket/pant combos out there that connect via a zip connection a few inches in length. No bueno. What we have below are a collection of dedicated two-piece offerings from a few different manufacturers. In reality, a two-piece suit can be any jacket and pant combination whose zippers work with each other. We say “dedicated” because in the cases below the jacket and pant were designed to work together. Mostly because they take their one-piece cousin and cut it in half.
Alpinestars Missile 2-Piece Race Suit For Tech Air Race – $1000
If you’re looking for an airbag suit, the Missile suit from Alpinestars represents the lowest cost of entry into Alpinestars’ Tech-Air compatible airbag system. Fortunately for those who don’t want to commit to a one-piece, or have weird body types requiring a two-piece, the Missile also comes as a jacket/pant combo, and the jacket is still Tech-Air compatible (sold separately). Premium 1.3mm leather makes up the main chassis with large accordion stretch panels at knees and shoulders. Stretch fabric on the sleeves and inner thighs help provide the feeling of a custom fit and increase freedom of movement. The speed hump is sculpted for ideal airflow at track speeds. CE certified protection at the elbows, shoulders, and knee absorb impact energy.
The pants, like the jacket, are pre-curved and come with a calf-expansion gusset to better accommodate different body types. There’s a full mesh inner liner and a waterproof inner pocket to keep important documents safe. Also, the jacket can be worn as a standalone item if desired. The Missile is also available for women, but only as a one-piece suit.

Vanson V932 Mark3 – Velocity Custom Two-Piece Leather Motorcycle Racing Suit – Price Varies
Custom made leather suits are typically of the one-piece variety because usually only racers go the custom route. However, if you absolutely want a two-piece that’s made to measure, Vanson will be happy to help. There are a few different options in the Vanson catalog for both men and women, but we’ll use the V932 Mark3 as an example, as it’s Vanson’s top-of-the-line custom single zip two-piece suit for road racing. This custom made suit is constructed of a single layer of 1.4mm competition weight cowhide, Powerstretch, and PROperf leather. Little touches include shoulders and sleeves being rotated forward for easier reach to the controls, brass zippers, and raw edge leather at the wrist and ankles to reduce the amount of bulk in your boots and gloves.
Vanson’s patented F.A.S. Armor (Floating Armor System), is located in the shoulders, elbow/forearms, knees and back pad. The Armor is constructed of closed cell foam padding with molded plastic inserts sewn onto the foam. The edges of the plastic are covered with leather for safety. The hips are CE approved armor. All of the armor is attached with Vanson’s patented full floating system, allowing the armor to move with the rider for maximum protection. Of course, this is just the tip of the Vanson iceberg.
