Racing Suits

Vivante was established in 1987, and after many years of supplying quality leather goods direct to wholesalers, Designer/Owner Marita Nienaber started dealing directly with the public in 1996.  From this time onwards she has been deeply involved custom design and has spent many years developing the Vivante Superbike Racing Suits.

Why Vivante’s Racing Suits are the obvious choice:

• Our Leather is tanned here in S.A. And Namibia by German tanneries, and had been tested in Germany for tear strength; colour absorbency; heat shrinkage; and resistance to heat.
• Much of our protective motorcycle gear utilizes Hard Kevlar CE- Protectors which are FIXED into the Leather panels in the Elbow & shoulders
• Standard Eva Foam Back protector is mounted into ALL jackets.
• We only use YKK No. 10 Spiral zips in all centre front garments (The same type as used in tents)
• The Thread we use is a Polifil 36 – lubricated nylon thread. The method used for lubrication & strength causes the thread to be very expensive and of the highest quality.

Tips on choosing Racing Suits for Biking

• Never buy a jacket if protectors are in the lining – it will shift when you fall and not protect you!
• Make sure that threading is not made from cotton. If one uses a cotton based thread, it will rot after some years, depending on the amount of sunshine and rain it had endured.

Other items available include kidney belts, leather gloves, strap on Back protectors and more.
