Sizing is a little bit on the smaller side, but after exchanging for the xl size, all is good.
of wearing a soft neck brace.
This is my second Leatt Protectors (previous had the 4.5).
Over time they do start to break down from getting caught on lantana etc and washing them.
(wash on a gentle cyclic and low spin only when needed) to get the maximum life out of them)
With Summer time in Queensland they do start to get hot, so I ride with just the armour on no jersey and or shirt underneath, you can easily undo the zipper to remove body heat when you stop for a break. Read LessRead less about review stating LEATT BLACK 5.5 BODY PROTECTOR
eep pulling the chest protector down every 1/2 hr or so as it tended to ride up a little but not too much of an issue.
Its a bit of a bulky unit to store on the bike once you stop but worth the safety factor in y opinion. Read LessRead less about review stating Leatt 5.5 Body Protector
