Overalls remain valid 5 years after their date of manufacturing and the homologation (i.e. the period during which they can be
produced) is valid for 5 years.
* Leather overalls complying with the standards defined by the FIM are authorised. For events on long circuits, leather overalls are mandatory, complying with the FIM standards (motorbikes, 1.2 mm thickness), without an internal lining or, should there be one, only with a silk, cotton or Nomex internal lining.
