Leatt 3.5 Hard-Shell Body Protector Graphene

Leatt 3.5 Body Protector For Adult Riders
As a modular protection system the LEATT 3.5 HARD-SHELL BODY PROTECTOR will not only give you the most efficient shielding but also great ventilation and comfort. Your purchase includes a zip-up compression sock with built-in shoulder and elbow impact guards plus a height-adjustable kidney belt. Then a hard-shell CE-Certified Leatt chest and back impact protector which is worn over the top.

Meets CE-Certified Level 1 Safety Standards
Designed to work with, or without, a Leatt Neck Brace, it meets Level-1 requirements for CE-certified impact protection of the chest, the back, the elbow, and the shoulder. It is intended to reduce the severity, or incidence, of soft tissue injuries such as bruising, contusions, cuts, and abrasions during off-road motorcycling and biking activities. It may even help to avoid more serious injuries such as minor fractures.

Can Be Worn Over Or Under Rider Jerseys
Boasting a low-profile, 3D-styled design which delivers a very comfortable fit, the LEATT 3.5 HARD-SHELL BODY PROTECTOR also includes a BraceOn neck brace fitting system which allows the Protector to be worn over, or under, a jersey (neck brace not included). Moisture Cool wicking fabric works with built-in Anti-Odour technology and 3DF AirFit ventilated soft impact foam are other features expertly designed to provide maximum airflow, and evaporation for the ultimate in all-ride comfort.

Make Sure You Wear It Correctly For Best Performance
To get the most from your LEATT 3.5 HARD-SHELL BODY PROTECTOR the chest protector should be positioned centrally along the vertical line of the sternum (breastbone) for maximum hard-shell roost protection. To ensure maximum defence of the back area, it needs to be located centrally along the line of the spine, with the widest part of the back protector extending over the scapulae (shoulder blades) and with the lower edge of the back protector ending as close to the base of the spine as is comfortable. Elbow and Forearm protectors should be positioned centrally on the elbow and along the line of the ulna (forearm) bone to the little finger. Care should be taken to ensure that shoulder protectors are placed in position from halfway between the shoulder point and neck, down onto the upper arm; symmetrically, or biased to the front to give more frontal protection.

Pro Tips For Getting Your Chest Protector Gear On
Putting on, and riding with, a LEATT 3.5 HARD-SHELL BODY PROTECTOR takes a little while to get right. Here are a few pro-tips to help you master getting into the chest protector. Unfasten the waist straps and place the Protector over your head, ensuring that it is in the correct orientation with the shorter chest plate to the front. Loop the straps into the locks moulded into each side of the protector and adjust the straps to a snug fit. When correctly adjusted and worn with the user's safety helmet and a Leatt Neck Brace, the Chest Protector should allow the full range of normal head and neck movements (i.e. looking up, looking down, and looking side-to-side, such as when performing an over-the-shoulder check). The Chest Protector, Leatt Neck Brace, and the helmet should only come into contact with each other as the full range of normal movement is reached. When dressed in your protective gear, please check that you are able to perform these functions before beginning any ride.
