The Leatt Body Protector 6. 5 splits full-body armor into two working pieces: a zip-up compression suit with built-in shoulder and elbow protection, worn under a removable hard-shell layer that covers the chest, back, and sides. Independent CE certification backs every zone, from Level 2 chest and back protection down to Level 1 coverage at the elbows and shoulders. The hard flank panels and multi-plate design let the whole system move with the body instead of fighting it on rough trail. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I run a neck brace under every descent, and the BraceOn system is the first body armor that doesn't fight it. The plates sit flush against the brace instead of bunching at my collarbone, so I get through rock gardens without adjusting anything mid-run."
