I almost didn’t order this item because of the feedback reviews. However, I’m very glad I did. I’m 5’10 280lbs. I wear a size 46 jacket and size 42 waist pants. I ordered the XXL Leatt 5.5.It arrived in 5 days. It is much higher quality than I expected. It fit me easily. I can put it on by pulling it over my head. This is the easiest way I found to put it on. However, I use the zippers to get it off.I ride hare scrambles and find this to be exceptional protection. I did put hot glue on the arm zippers to prevent them from coming open. Hot glue can be peeled off without damaging the zippers.I have wore it 6 times so far with the hottest day being 72*. It hasn’t been to hot as of yet.I wear a cotton T-shirt under, then the Leatt 5.5, then my jersey. I did not purchase the neck brace.So far I haven’t went down, so I can’t really swear to how well it will work. But it feels considerably better than my old Titan.That being said, it is heavier than any previous chest protection I have used. The weight is not an issue, and I am 50 years old. So younger riders should have no concerns.I’m very happy with this and would recommend it to my friends. This is a lot of info, but this is a costly item.I hope this helps. Good luck and be safe.

I'm 5 "10 205 pounds and the XXL fits perfect. XXL will fit a guy bigger guy at least a 230 pound guy. If your smaller then me I would go with the XL. I cracked my rib wearing the O'Neal Underdog because of lack of protection in the rib area. Now the Leatt protector covers all your ribs back and chest. 5 stars spend the money and save yourself a trip to the hospital.

This jacket is great for protection and it is comfortable to wear. The only issue is if you are a bigger guy like me (6'1" 220) the large is way too tight but the XL is way too big. I had to get my wife to sew in some extra Velcro to tighten up the sleeves and kidney belt to where it would fit and if I lose any more weight it won't fit but the large would still be way too small unless I was around 180 pounds.

Shoulder pad problem solved. I hate the should pads on the Leatt vests but really appreciate everything else about Leatt gear. I got this jacket hoping it would be my answer, and I'm glad to report it is. I'm 6'2" ~200lbs and XXL is the right fit. Easy to adjust the flank guard sizing to fit. Excellent coverage- better than Fox Titan by a long shot (I like Fox gear a lot too!). I didn't find the body zipper to be awkward or annoying, but the arm zips will need to be dealt with- I saw another review that suggested taking to a tailor to connect and will probably do that. No crash testing yet but feels extremely secure and mobile when on. Great neck brace integration.

This is a 5 star chest protector with 2 star sleeves. I would give it 4.5 stars if I could. For some reason Leatt decided to put a half zipper on each arm at the elbow. By half zipper I mean that it doesn't go all the way around the arm, just around the back of the arm. Every time you put the armor on you will have to deal with this opening and every time you take it off you have to be VERY careful not to break this weak link. You can't just unzip the bottom portion and put it on last either unless you have help. My solution was to have a tailor remove the zipper and sew the pieces together, making it a normal long sleeved shirt. This makes it so much nicer and I don't understand why Leatt doesn't listen to all of the forum posts complaining about the stupid zipper. The only other negative is that this armor gets warm when you are moving and hot when you are not, but this is to be expected. You always have to make a tradeoff of heat/comfort for protection. The venting on this armor is very good and works well when you are moving, but when you stop for a few minutes you heat up fast. It is comfortable to wear on slow rides only at temps under 85 degrees.Pros:Great build qualityGreat protectionRib/flank protection (this is extremely hard to find!)Vents well for what it isNeck brace compatibleGood adjustabilityCons:Warm/hot - Nothing you can do about this, there will always be a trade off for protectionHorrible sleeve zippers

This body armor is insane and very high quality! I would recommend to anyone without hesitation. You really get what you pay for with this item. The integrated kidney belt is for real too, just as good as my individual kidney belt I use to wear before buying this armor. I have two other body protectors and have fallen hard with each of them and bruised my ribs each time. Those protectors do not cover my ribs like this suite does. This armor totally covers my ribs and every other place that I want (chest, shoulders, spine, tail bone, elbows, forearms, stomach). I feel like I could go to war with this armor and be safe. The movement while wearing the armor is great, no restrictions at all. It is very breathable too. I have not done it yet, but you are also able to detach the lower sleeves by unzipping them making it a short sleeve suite.

This thing is by far the most protection I have ever had. I got the XXL, and it fits perfect on the smallest setting. I am only 5'8" so the back support goes all the way down for me. Arms are perfect length, and it feels great on. The only thing I don't like is, how it is hard turning my head to see behind me. I don't think I need the neck brace, as I feel like I have enough protection, and it is hard enough to turn my head, but with a taller person, I am sure they would not have the same problem I do. Easy to put on. Zippers are flimsy, but it is on stretchy material, so you can't expect much.

I've tested 5 or 6 different ones and after wasting time and money, should have bought this from the get go! It's comfortable and I feel super protected. In the heat, I just wear a compression tee shirt long sleeve, in the fall I wear the cold weather compression. Some riders wear jerseys over top....Too much stuff! Keep it simple and ride safe!It ran small for me. I'm 6'1" 212 and ended up with XXL....XL was just to tight in the arms.

Was vielen Protektorenjacken oder Westen fehlt ist der Flankenschutz (Schutz vor Rippenbrüchen, Milz, Nieren etc.). Hier sehr gut und nicht wirklich störend umgesetzt.Diese Jacke bietet wirklich den besten Rundumschutz und passt sich gut dem Körper an.Beim Einstellen des Flankenschutzes muss man ein wenig fummeln aber das tut man nur einmalig.Natürlich schwitzt man im Sommer ein wenig mehr im Vergleich zu Westen oder den leichteren Varianten aber das nimmt man gern in Kauf durch die erheblich höhere Schutzleistung.Positiv ist auch, dass man die Ellenbogenschoner entfernen kann bei Bedarf, bzw. wenn man andere benutzen möchte oder schon eigene besitzt.Diese Entkopplung von der Jacke sorgt nochmal für ein angenehmes Freiheitsgefühl.

Well made, and designed to fit with the Leatt braces is the reason I bought this to replace my existing Thor armour suit. Its well made, has good quality zips and appears robust enough for my novice enduro crashes. I don't think there are many armour suits that provide ribcage protection which is a nice feature, and my brace integrates seamlessly as designed. Recommended.

Die Protektorjacke sitzt nach der, zugegeben teilweise recht fummeligen, einstellung der Gurte sehr gut. Für eine Jacke mit recht grossen Einzelprotektoren sie sehr bequwem. Bei einem Vogesen-Wochenendausflug, On- und Off-Road getestet. Die Grösse XL ist für mich, 1,90m Groß und 100kg, passend. Ich kann die Protektorenjacke nur Empfehlen, deshalb 5 Sterne.
