Chest Protection
MTB Chest Protectors
While riding your mountain bike, you can look good while railing berms, nailing ruts, gassing jumps, and shredding like a pro. This is the kind of thrill where having the right protection can significantly reduce the degree of injury when it does happen. Riding behind other riders at speed and getting hammered with rocks, dirt, and dust has to be one of the most painful aspects while riding. By wearing a form-fitting MTB chest protector, you can protect large areas that take a lot of the impact from those rocks and debris while also eliminating severe injury in a crash, such as broken bones, scrapes, and bruises, not to mention keeping vital organs safe. Leatt MTB chest protectors are perfect for when things go wrong and you are in the firing line of roost. Rocks, roost, and mud—you'll find something to with stand it all.
What's the difference between hard-shell and soft-shell protection?
The hard shell MTB chest protectors can protect you from rocks, trees, branches, and fences. All of these possible risks are a part of the sport, and it's in those moments that you're glad you have it on. This chest protector offers excellent protection and comfort with a high-quality impact foam layer under the hard shell. In recent years, soft-shell mountain bike armor has become popular, especially in MTB, where riders want protection that is light, thin, and doesn't feel like they are wearing protection. The soft outer layer flexes when you ride. This makes the MTB chest protectors comfortable and breathable. The soft shell chest protectors are ventilated to keep your temperature down while also being CE certified to ensure safety.
MTB Chest Protectors Research and Development:
At Leatt, our primary focus is rider safety, and the best way to do that is through extensive research. We study dirt bike crashes, use some of the world's most advanced testing equipment, and then put our chest protectors through extensive tests in our lab.

Because no one wants to look like an American football player while riding a dirt bike, we make an effort to ensure that our chest protectors are as slim and lightweight as possible. That's how we create the best dirt bike protection—from high—speed to low—speed impacts.
Dirt Bike Chest Protector Materials:
Our dirt bike chest protectors are constructed from various high-quality materials, including gels, 3DF, and hard-shell materials. These materials have all been CE tested and certified to offer our customers the best materials available to provide the highest level of protection. Our Reaflex protection chest protectors are made with a gel material that is excellent for absorbing energy in cold and hot conditions. This material is both pliable and breathable, making it an excellent choice for conforming to the curve of your body and providing exceptional comfort while also serving as a base layer that effectively wicks away sweat.
Additionally, this material is designed in a one-of-a-kind shape that is fantastic for absorbing impact. The 3DF material utilized in the construction of our dirt bike chest protectors is one that is excellent at absorbing impact forces. This not only lessens the stresses exerted on the body upon impact but also makes it more robust because it can withstand the force of the impact more than once. This is often done in vital areas that are subjected to the most shock following an accident.
