Anybody used Leatt's new chest protector yet? I have their neck brace and an old Moose chest protector. Like the Leatt, like the Moose, just not together. Seems the product designed by Leatt might be a good fit with a Leatt?
I have not used the Leatt chest protector, but I did get the FOX chest protector that works with the Leatt. It is much much better than my old thor, or my 661 pressure suit. It has no shoulder protection though if you are into that you may need a different one. I have also noticed that the new helmets that are designed since the neck brace craze work much better and give better mobility. I noticed in my video's that when I am wearing my new Shoei that I can't hear the thump thump thump of the helmet hitting the leatt like i hear with the old helmet. Later,
i have recently purchased a thor force and it says it has removable shoulder caps for compatability with the "many" neck braces, i dont know which. i havent tried messin with it yet. when i get a neck brace well see how it goes.
I bought the Leatt chest protector two months ago. It fit the Leatt Club brace really well but the quality was sub par. I appeared not enough padding nor thick plastic shell. I returned it and bought the Fox Airframe. Very well made and affords a ton of protection whilst not limiting arm movement. I also attached my Camebak (100 oz.) with zip ties to the rear panel and works great. Brace fits just as well if not better that the Leatt. Regular price is $119. I got mine for 99.00 with $20 off coupon through RockyMountainATVMC.
You guys are AWESOME (but we already knew that!) Instant feedback... with PICTURES!! Thanks. I do like the CP's with a well-designed shoulder protection/suspension system. That's a main reason I'm hanging onto my old Moose (XCR?). It's been good, and has accumulated a few... uh... shall we call them... 'check marks' over the years. Now it needs to go to the big gear bag in the sky. Actually, I need a triple combo, NB, CP, and hydration pack I can wear together. I can sometimes get the CP and NB to play together, but you hang that hydro pack onto the shoulders of the CP and it becomes ver restrictive. More please.
Picklito, I almost bought the Zacspeed SP3 because of the items you mentioned above. They also sell a lighter version (RP3). Kinda pricey but well received in all the reviews I've read. Available in the USA through Parts Unlimted or ThumperTalk Store only.
The Zac-speed is by far the most comfortable system I've ever worn & a Leatt fits it just fine. It seems pricy at first but, it's tough as nails, versatile and comfortable. I have the bigger one & it's packed full of stuff & with the bladder full it weighs about 20lbs, but you'd never know it because it distributes the weight so well. I've also hung a number plate bag on the front for small items I want handy like a camera, snacks etc. The only thing I'd change on it is have a bit better rib protection & a bit more volume in the large storage pockets, as it's a bit tight around the bladder & the other big pocket.
