AHHHHHHHHHHH THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IVE BEEN WDAITING FOR!!! BEEN STALKING THIS CHANNEL TO FIND THE REVIEW OF THIS PRODUCT. WAITING FOR AVAILABILITY IN AUSTRALIA!!!!!
I have similar setup with fox baseframe undershirt and AStars a10 protector...
You da man Chase appreciate it
Love the side protection. So many protectors miss that. Having broken my ribs 4 times = 2 times riding motocross, 1 time downhill mountain biking, and once snowboarding (I jump a lot) I have not fond really good lower-side rib protection.
PS I would have liked to have seen in the demo with the chest protector off.
Same ish. Buddy uses the Alpinestars A10 for the rib protection. Curious how they compare.
I bought it just for that reason the side protection because I have done the samething on my mtn bikes..
Chase, I just received mine in medium. Feels great but I’m a bit worried about lower back protection. I upgraded for my fox titan jacket because I broke a rib, but it is about 4” longer reaching my lower back. I’m 5’8” so I went with the medium. It covers my back went standing but if I’m standing I feel my lower back exposed. Am I overthinking my lower back? Would a size large be a tad bit longer?
bikes.. bought this today because of the side protection and it is removable..so I can use my Alpinestars A1 plus over it when it is really hot..or a not crazy day riding..When I get crazy I put the 6.5 on it..
Just received this and tried it on. My initial feeling is that i dont love it. Im leaning towards returning it. My main issue is that the armor does not connected to the mesh, so it floats around. I would like it better if there was some clips to hold the back protector in place.
I do like the fit of the Mesh and kidney strap. and the armor is nice too. just doesnt feel secure inplace.
Thinking about getting 5.5 but verry curious about the 6.5 that i can just wear the chest piece someday
I'm a bit confused in the sizing compartment, the LEatt size chart say that he should have been a XL LOL (just lby length)
How durable is that mesh fabric holding it all together? It looks like with even a minor accident you could seriously damage it and need to buy the whole thing again seeing as they don't sell it separately?
Currently nursing a broken rib. How does this compare to the Alpinestars A10?
My only concern about this protector is the back, I feel a little bit uneasy with my lumbar/lower bank exposed.
Does the 6.5 improve ventilation / hot weather performance over the 5.5?
Trying to decide between this and Alpinestars. Thanks
Compared to the older 5.5 it looks like they reduced the shoulder and elbow protection. both size and coverage? can anyone comment on specifically the sholders and elbows? Im thinking about getting this, or the 6.5 chest protector and then getting seperate elbow and kiddney protection.
Wish I could help. Wondering the same.
Hi Chase, great review as always man. I'm currently using the Fox Titan, need to change, I've watched this and the 6.5 Chest only without elbows. Could you suggest which one you prefer yourself, is this one better or should I buy the chest one plus some elbows? Also I noticed on the chest one he is Large and in this one medium, do they fit different? Thanks bro!
Personally, I like this version compared to just the 6.5 chest protector. Here are my thoughts. I would buy this one and then just get some elbow guards separate. That way, if there was a day that you didn't want to wear the jacket, maybe in hot weather, you still have the chest protector and you could just put on elbow guards. And other days you could wear the jacket and chest protector. Or maybe there is a day you just want the chest protector with no elbow guards, you could do that too. I like that you can wear this jacket under the jersey and the chest pro over the top too! Only trade off is when you don't wear the jacket, you don't have shoulder protection. Hope this helps. - Chase
Quesrion: How do I wash this item?
teach me step by step!
thank you!
Awesome Chase ;) thank you so very much! I think my only negative is I like better having the popping in or out option on the 5.5 for the neck brace insert if not I think it looks like a good homerun. Having the chest protector separate more freedom of movement/easier to put on and off/versatility and less stress on the garment's stitching. Is the kidney belt stitched to the garment?
The kidney belt is not. It's removable!
@@rmatvmc sweet, have a great day.
Hey, you like this 6.5 or 5.5 over Alpinestars offerings? Need mine more for enduro/woods. No MX. Thanks for any help!
@@lukefish7562 Sorry to say unfortuntely I haven't had the time end of last summer to use it so am hoping it works out for me this upcoming summer, gl in your choice, search.
This looks amazing can you go riding with this with crotch rockets? Like is it only for dirt bikes or can it take fall on the pavement?
Is it posiible to have a backpack on over this
Having a tough time deciding. My main concern is for HOT summer riding. I don’t do well in the heat😂. I mostly ride my DR650. I’d say close to 50/50 on/off road. I keep going back and forth on buying something like this and throwing a light colored jersey over it or just a mesh type jacket with some armor in it. I don’t believe this type of armor is made for pavement riding or I’m I wrong? I’ve got my winter gear setup, which was supposed to be four seasons……but man it’s WAY too hot in the summer. I’m open to all suggestions.
i dont see why you couldnt wear it on the road
So, I have the 3df airfit body protector, I really like it. But, after a shot to the ribs, I'm sold on getting this. The website keeps extending when it will be available and now it's all the way out to April! First half of desert race season is almost over at that point. Any talk of availability coming sooner and an additional color option?
If you need something right now check the Alpinestars A10 Full Protecter. Has hard side plates for the ribs. CE2 front and rear. Well ventilated. I’ve had one for a couple years since they came out. Rolled down many hills and rocks in it. Works really good.
Great review! Can you compare it with the Alpinestars bionic tech V2? For hard enduro which one is better as the Alpinestars seems lighter and less bulky?
The bionic Tech V2 is a little more low profile, but you won't get as much protection around the flank/rib cage area.
YES! THOSE ARE EXACTLY THE ONES IM TRYING TO DECIDE BETWEEN for the exact same purposes. Protecting myself in my quest to top the champ⚡️BB 57⚡️.
😆 Or just staying safe.
Thanks!

I got the 5.5 neck brace. Will it work with this also? Wondering difference between 5.5 and 6.5
Yes, all the Leatt body protectors are meant to integrate with their neck braces. The 6.5 is lower profile than the 5.5 and has two separate pieces, whereas the 5.5 is a one piece design.
For me it’s for an Electric scooter that can go up to 100km/h I bought the leatt 3DF airfit body protector yesterday ! Would you choose this one instead of the 3DF ? What would be the big difference between the 2 ?
Great question. I'm still trying to decide which one to go, cuz I'm planning on buying one for the same use case as you!. I already have good knee/elbow pads but I want a good set of body armour!
Are these for just motocross or would they be usable for Shuttle/Lift Service mountain biking?
If you're looking for the ultimate protection this piece could certainly work for downhill mountain biking. Leatt also has the 3DF AirFit Hybrid Body Protector which is just a bit less bulky and also recommended for mountain biking.
You can check out our product spotlight video on that here: czcams.com/video/w30oxkpyozA/video.html
Can this be use on the street???
Hi there…
I measure 5ft 7, on their sizing chart i’m a medium.
My chest size is 44inch. Will i fit into the medium or should i order Large ot Extra large?
Thank you.
I would go with a large. - Chase
160lb 6ft tall... would you still go with an XL or will it not be tight around the chest? Thx
Honestly, I think you'd be better off in a large or even a medium. Our model in the video is about 5'9 and weighs more than you and he's wearing a medium. - Chase
Just dislocated shoulder and broke collarbone. So looking for protection to minimise damage next time….. but shoulder protection seems the weak point with this….. any advice from those who know for better/extra shoulder protection?
Sorry to disappoint you man but I don't think that exist any body armour which could prevent from shoulder dislocation or broken collar bone
if you land hard enough on your shoulder or arm !
Those shoulder protections can only minimize a bit an impact during direct hit to the branch or a crash to the ground and save our skin
from cut or bruises, and that's why ....I think its still worth to have them in 99% of our everyday crashes !
But in that 1% when you land hard enough then...your collar bone must give up and there is no any body armour which could really prevent it !
The same applies to the Ribs protection .
I had Alpinestars A10 chest/back/ribs/shoulder protection and I managed to broke my collar bone and 3 ribs in relatively low speed 90deg corner on the wet grass.
Well...maybe we should try newest Alpinestar Tech-Air® Off-Road Body Armour Airbag System ?!!
Hopefully this system could prevent from our injuries ....but I didn't tried it on myself...yet ! ;)
How can I buy this .?I need it
I bought this and I like the body jacket, the chest protector is just a clam shell with a stretchy strap to hold it in place. It moves so easily that it could come off in a crash. I’m so surprised that this isn’t talked about, had they used a normal side strap it would have been so much better. I definitely regret buying this.
can you buy the compression top seperat;y?
With the 6.5 you cannot.
Do you sell the two pieces separately? Zac Speed used sell something like the armored undershirt, unfortunately that part has been discontinued!
Unfortunately, we do not sell the two pieces separately.
Thanks for the quick reply! It would a great option to wear under a chest protector or dual sport jacket if it was an option.
Is the under body protection machine washable?
Typically these are best washed by soaking in the tub and hanging to dry. Not answering your question directly but it's the best way to wash these and keep them durable over the years.
@@YSPDJapan 👍🏻
Instead of the foam under the hard protection why don’t they use a D3O or equivalent product it would be way better protection at not much more cost I personally will be looking at other products with D3O or equivalent!
Wish they would just sell the shirt as I already have the Leatt chest protector.

@@Wolfebites I ended up getting the short sleeve version with a Jersey overtop and the leatte 4.5, plus down hill skiing forearm guards
Hey RMATVMC! What size is he wearing ?
The model is wearing a medium in this video.
@@rmatvmc what is the weight and height of the model in cm and kg?
Leatt looks like they have no where else to go. But going back to the 80's now.
There's not one single elbow guard piece of armor that protects the underneath of the forearm just the elbow.
I'm recovering from a ATV crash, I broke 5 ribs, collar bone, and Lung puncture.

Do You Wear A Base Shirt Under these? Or it goes on right over You Skin?
I believe you get what you pay for, and it's better to "Pay A Little More Now, Than A Lot Later!"
Is this what I'm needing?
I'm not Riding My Quads, until I find something to Protect Me, and not get Hurt Like this again!
