Use
Products meeting the requirements of the technical specifications listed above are 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, such as Moto-X, Enduro, Downhill MTB, BMX and Adventure Sports.
- Products meeting the requirements of the technical specifications may reduce the severity and/or incidence of some more serious injuries such as minor fractures.
- Products meeting the requirements of the technical specifications cannot significantly mitigate against major injuries, such as serious fractures resulting from extreme impact forces or torsion/flexion/bending/ crushing injuries and neurological spinal injuries. Currently available materials and technology do not allow this level of protection to be attained in products which would be acceptable to wear and which would allow physical activities to be conducted and completed satisfactorily.

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. Where fitted, the back, chest and limb impact protector components are in fixed positions within the Back Protector and Body Protector, which should always be of a snug fit to the body. 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.
Adjustment
Before completely zipping the garment closed, ensure that the back protector is in the correct position. When worn with the user’s safety helmet and a LEATT® Neck 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® Neck 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.
