Feeling protected when we practice our passions is important.
An injury can happen so quickly and it can put an abrupt end to your season. That’s why it’s worth investing in your safety.
One of the protections that is very important in sports like motorcycle, quad or snowmobile is a chest protector.
Leatt is your only real choice 😉
When it came time for me to choose a chest protector, I went with the Leatt brand. They have a proven track record in the field, so I was confident.
I went with the 3DF AirFit Lite body protector and find out why.
Complete protection
The 3DF AirFit Lite Body protector has the advantage of having more than just the back, chest and side protection you’d expect from a regular chest protector. It also has elbow and shoulder protection. This makes it a really complete chest protector, it protects the whole upper body.
The most interesting thing is that the technology ”3DF AirFit ventilated soft impact foam”. It’s a kind of gel that hardens on impact. When you wear the chest protector, it is possible to move without feeling any constraint in the movement. However, in the event of an impact, the material hardens to protect you to the maximum.
This technology offers CE certified level 1 impact protection.
Fits and confort
It is a unisex protecor but despite this, it does very well at the chest. This is often an issue for us women.
The 3D design ensures an optimal fit and very confortable, it adjusts wonderfully to your body.
There is an elastic strap at the chest level for a more adequate positioning. The bib fits really well to the body. You feel quickly mobile.
The ventilated back helps on hot days. In warm weather, it is very hot with this protection, but this is the case with a motorcycle jacket. It is important to get over the heat and dress appropriately for motorcycling. It’s for our safety after all.
The chest protector is very light. We come to forget its presence when we practice our sport. One has a beautiful amplitude of movements and one feels very at ease.
The utilities
Of course, when we think of chest protector, we often think of motocross.
I don’t do motocross and yet I use my bib very often. I use it on my adventure bike, on a quad or a side-by-side, on an enduro bike or on a snowmobile.
The investment is really worth it. You will be able to use it in all your motorized sports and thus be adequately protected.
