I would not put it in a washing machine but we hand wash them in the sink or with a garden hose after taking off the plastic. I'm not currently around it and can't remember but I think some of the pads come out but I don't recall if you can remove all of them.
Thank you for the video and review. How does it stack up to the ALPINESTARS version ? Also does all the Velcro get hung up on the jersey and making the jersey look like an old used sock Thank you
I've not tried the Alpinestars version so I can't speak to that. I don't have any issues with the velcro getting hung up on my jersey. Thanks for watching!
I'm your height, 6', but skinny, 38 inch chest, 31 inch waist - do you think the L would be a good fit? I'm also concerned about the fit being too loose. I liked the review. Good detail.
Hmm, that is a great question! Sounds like you are probably right in between a medium and large. According to heir size chart I was supposed to be an XL and sized down to a L. You have a bit of adjustment on the sides as well as with the kidney belt.. Do you have the opportunity to buy both and return one? I'd say it'd be best to try them both and really make sure you get the fit that you like. Sorry that's not much help!
I am 6,0 and 185 lbs but I went with the XL because I am using it for snowbiking and will have thermals under them. I order my gf a medium and it is not good for women, tried it on and it didnt fit what so ever. Just ordered and excited to try it out.

Great review, I was wondering what are your thoughts about using this product for mountain biking, do you think it’s to bulky? Do you think mobility is going to be affected? I’m riding a lot of black diamond trails and had my share of falls but I think it’s time for me to move on on to something more legit , ok thanks again I hope you can reply soon.
Thanks for watching Julio. I think personally I would recommend the 3D AirFit body protector from Leatt for a situation like that. It does not have any plastic and is a little less bulky but still offers a ton of protection. They do have mountain bike specific options as well I believe.
I'm pretty sold on this armour and have tried on in store, not purchased yet, I felt that the kidney belt wanted to" ride up" when I moved around, have you found this to happen when riding?
Hi Steve. I found that issue with my last body protector and it was very annoying. But with this belt having vertical adjustment I was able to move it down quite a bit and that prevented a lot of this issue.
The 6.5 is just a bit more slim in the plastics. I can't say with 100% certainty but I think the neck brace would work on both just fine. It's worth a call to Leatt just to make sure.
Oh man, sorry about your injury! That is a really tough one to protect. It doesn't take much force at all to break a collar bone and I'm not sure how you'd prevent it as it is kind of due to the motion of landing on it (ask me how I know :(...) Good luck with your healing!! Hope you can get back to riding soon enough.

One of the best reviews, thanks friend
Aww thanks!
How do you wash the jacket? Do you need to remove the outside plastic and the inside pads or are they sewn in permanently?
I would not put it in a washing machine but we hand wash them in the sink or with a garden hose after taking off the plastic. I'm not currently around it and can't remember but I think some of the pads come out but I don't recall if you can remove all of them.
Washing machine, outdoor or sport program, fast wash 30 degree. Leatt is great

Thank you so much for this review
Glad it was helpful!
Great review! Got mine ordered.
Awesome to hear.
Great review, I am 5'11'' and 210lbs and torn between getting the L or XL...thoughts?
I would probably go with the large as you're not that far off from my measurements and it has quite a bit of adjustability.
Looking to get this to go over my klim ai-1 airbag vest. Any thoughts? Best.
I don't think you could fit it over...
I'm your height, 6', but skinny, 38 inch chest, 31 inch waist - do you think the L would be a good fit? I'm also concerned about the fit being too loose. I liked the review. Good detail.

Will the protector help, when falling on concrete?
Yes, absolutely
I'm pretty sold on this armour and have tried on in store, not purchased yet, I felt that the kidney belt wanted to" ride up" when I moved around, have you found this to happen when riding?
Hi Steve. I found that issue with my last body protector and it was very annoying. But with this belt having vertical adjustment I was able to move it down quite a bit and that prevented a lot of this issue.
So I just bought the neck brace 5.5. Will it work with this one also? I don’t know which is better. The 5.5 or 6.5 body protector
The 6.5 is just a bit more slim in the plastics. I can't say with 100% certainty but I think the neck brace would work on both just fine. It's worth a call to Leatt just to make sure.
would you recomend this for adv riding? or something abit lighter
I personally would recommend something lighter for Adv Riding.
Any good options for upgraded shoulder protection which can be combined with this jacket? Just dislocated shoulder and broke collarbone…
Oh man, sorry about your injury! That is a really tough one to protect.

Hmm. Looks pretty good. I'll check it out.
Thanks for watching!
Leats sizing is wack. I went in the store and tried on LG/XL and it was tight. I don't like on there website they don't give chest aizes
I went off the size chart and had good luck with it, but I think the best with this type of gear is to try it on in store.
