The Leatt 4.5 Body Protector is a premium, high-impact armor designed for motocross, enduro, and aggressive trail riding. It features CE Level 2 certified hard-shell protection on the chest and back, combined with comfortable soft armor for the elbows and shoulders. It is highly praised for its excellent balance between robust safety and mobility.
Key Features
Top-Tier Impact Protection: Both the chest and back plates carry CE Level 2 certifications, utilizing a blend of hard plastic outer shells and 3DF AirFit ventilated impact foam to disperse harsh forces.
Integrated Body Suit: Unlike standalone roost deflectors, the 4.5 Body Protector is built into a moisture-wicking, breathable mesh compression suit. This keeps all the armor perfectly positioned on your body and prevents it from shifting during a crash.
Neck Brace Compatibility: It features Leatt’s "BraceOn" elastic strap system, which securely integrates with Leatt neck braces without requiring you to remove parts of the chest or back padding.
Adjustability: It includes adjustable straps on the arms and waist so you can dial in a snug, personalized fit.
Ventilation: The neoprene liner and 3DF foam are perforated, utilizing air vents to help keep you cool despite wearing full upper-body armor
Pros
Exceptional Coverage: Offers complete upper body coverage (chest, back, shoulders, and elbows) in one convenient piece of gear.
Moves with the Body: Despite the high level of protection, the suit is relatively flexible and doesn't feel overly restrictive when riding actively.
Confidence Inspiring: It provides immense peace of mind on aggressive or technical rides against flying roost, trees, and sharp rocks.
