BIA BLACK Protective motorcycle base layer / body

What does CE AAA certification mean, and why is it important?

CE Level AAA certification is the highest safety rating given to motorcycle clothing under the EN 17092-2:2020 European standard. This standard tests how well protective gear performs in real-world crash scenarios, focusing on things like abrasion resistance, seam strength, and tear resistance.

Knowing the CE rating of your motorcycle gear is important. It provides independent verification that the gear will offer the protection it promises in the event of an accident.

The Bia Black is rated Level AAA. 

Can the Bia Black replace a motorcycle jacket?

The Bia Black is tested and rated using the same standards as motorcycle jackets, meaning it can replace a motorcycle jacket if you choose. 

How do I choose the correct size for a women’s base layer / bodysuit?

How should I wash or maintain this armored base layer?

Start by removing the armor inserts. These can be wiped down with a damp cloth and left to air dry.

The Bia Black base layer can then be hand-washed or machine-washed inside out on a gentle cycle. Use cold or lukewarm water with a mild detergent, avoiding bleach, fabric softeners, or any harsh cleaning agents. After washing, let the suit air-dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area. 

How long does the included armor last, and when should it be replaced?

D3O® Ghost™ armor doesn't have a set expiry date, but usually lasts around 3-5 years with regular use. It should be replaced if you notice any signs of damage or deterioration, including hardening, tears, texture changes, or cracking.
