Protection dimension
The following illustrations demonstrate the dimensions of the zones of protection relative to the coverage
provided by the whole product.
Positioning of Leatt® protection range
No single size of body protection can accommodate all body dimensions because of variation in height and
shape. In addition, Leatt
®
impact protectors can only provide the maximum achievable level of protection when
they are correctly positioned and adequately secured on the wearer. In particular users should avoid choosing
too big a protector because of the potential of interference with the helmet that, should it occur, can result in
a dangerous riding condition. If the primary impact protector components do not correctly fit and cover the
following areas, an alternative size may be required:
Back protector: Back protectors should 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.
Chest protector: Chest protectors should be positioned centrally along the vertical line of the sternum
(breastbone).
Adjustment
Unfasten the waist straps and place the Leatt®
Protector over your head, ensuring that it is in the correct
orientation with the shorter chest plate to the front. When correctly-adjusted and worn with the user’s safety
helmet and a Leatt®
Brace, the 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
protector, Leatt
®
Brace and the helmet only coming into contact with each other as the full range of normal
movement is reached. With your Leatt
®
protectors in place, check that you are able to.
