Ease of use 4.5 / 5.0

Pros

1. GP protectors on elbow, shoulder, knee, and tibia provide certified impact protection across all four critical zones
2. Tech-Air 5 Ready compatibility enables airbag vest integration for complete upper body protection on circuit
3. Bio-Flex Race hip protectors add a fifth impact protection zone that is often an optional upgrade on competing suits

Cons

1. At £869.99 it’s a significant investment that primarily suits regular track day and club racing use
2. Bovine leather requires care and conditioning to maintain abrasion resistance over time
3. CE AA Class is one tier below AAA — riders who require the highest certification for specific competition categories should check requirements

The GP Force Chaser Leather Suit is a serious race-ready one-piece designed for track day riders and club racers who want a CE-certified suit with proper protective credentials. Bovine leather construction delivers unsurpassed abrasion and tear resistance, and the suit is fully optimised for use with or without the Tech-Air 5 airbag system. Stretch panels on the abdomen, under the arms, arms, crotch, and back of leg provide the high-performance riding fit required for track use, and GP protectors on the elbow, shoulder, knee, and tibia handle certified impact protection across all four critical zones.

A DFS Lite protector on the shoulder provides additional abrasion protection, and Bio-Flex Race hip protectors are included for impact protection at a fifth critical point. An aerodynamic back hump is ventilated for maximum airflow, and a removable and replaceable Sport slider delivers durability and feel at the knee. Perforated leather panels manage ventilation on warmer track days, and inner knee suede reinforcement provides grip on the tank. A chest pad compartment accepts Alpinestars CE-certified Nucleon chest pads as an upgrade, and a calf expansion panel with stretch ribs allows a customised lower leg fit. CE certified to CE Category II prEN17092 AA Class.
