Custom vs Readymade Motorcycle Suits: Which One Should You Choose?
When it comes to riding gear, especially motorcycle suits, the debate between custom-made and readymade is real. If you’re investing in a suit for safety, performance, and style — you want to make the right choice. At Esteem Biker Suits (EBS), we help riders find what truly fits — both their body and riding needs.
In this article, we’ll break down the differences, pros, and cons of each, so you can decide what’s best for you.
🧥 What is a Readymade Motorcycle Suit?
A readymade suit is mass-produced in standard sizes (S, M, L, XL, etc.). You’ll find them in stores or online, ready to wear off the shelf.
✅ Pros:
-
Easily available
-
Usually cheaper upfront
-
Good for occasional riders
❌ Cons:
-
Fit may not be perfect
-
Limited design and color choices
-
Less comfort on long rides
-
Not tailored to your riding style or posture
✂️ What is a Custom Motorcycle Suit?
A custom suit is made just for you — based on your body measurements, riding posture, and design preferences. At EBS, every custom suit is handcrafted to match your size, taste, and purpose (street, touring, or racing).
✅ Pros:
-
Perfect fit = maximum comfort + mobility
-
Personalized design, name, color, and branding
-
Enhanced safety with correct armor placement
-
Suits your riding posture and needs (race/street/touring)
-
Better performance at high speed or on long rides
❌ Cons:
-
Slightly higher price (but better long-term value)
-
Takes time to produce (usually 2–4 weeks)
🛡️ Why Fit Matters in Motorcycle Suits
A well-fitted suit isn’t just about comfort — it’s a matter of safety.
A loose readymade suit may cause:
-
Armor misplacement
-
Flapping at high speeds
-
Discomfort and distraction on long rides
A custom EBS suit ensures:
-
Armor sits exactly where it should
-
No pressure points on shoulders, knees, or back
-
Zero movement distractions
🧵 Design and Personalisation
With a custom suit, you’re not limited to boring colors or standard branding. At EBS, you can:
-
Choose your colors and patterns
-
Add your name, team logo, or bike number
-
Match your gear to your bike style
A readymade suit? What you see is what you get.
🏍️ Who Should Choose Custom?
You should go custom if you are:
-
A regular or long-distance rider
-
Planning to race or ride aggressively
-
Want a specific design or color scheme
-
Have non-standard body measurements
-
Looking for premium fit, comfort, and protection
