Has anybody tried one out yet? I'm worried the back part will be too high. And for all the people who are going to say to go my lbs/local moto shop, I will once any of them have one in stock.
Leatt is very specific in that they do NOT want the brace worn without a spine protector. If you're going to use the Leatt, do it with a spine protector underneath the brace.If you wear it with armor that has a spine protector, you will want to slip the back part underneath the spine protector for better fit...

That has been the specualation, but have there been any actual try-ons to confirm yea or nay? Since the Adventure is set to 'average,' there is a possibility that there may be enough leaway with a slight-framed 6'-1" person such as myself. That's what I'm hoping for anyway.The adventure lacks the adjustments that the Club or Sport have. The lack of adjustments works fine for motocross but on a DH bike it's neccasary to have those adjustments for a proper setup.
Where did you hear that? I'd be interested to know.Leatt is very specific in that they do NOT want the brace worn without a spine protector. If you're going to use the Leatt, do it with a spine protector underneath the brace.
I don't think that is correct. see page 8: http://www.leatt-brace.com/themes/leatt/images/MOTO_GPX_manual.pdfLeatt is very specific in that they do NOT want the brace worn without a spine protector. If you're going to use the Leatt, do it with a spine protector underneath the brace.
May be worn under or on top of bady armor as long as thoracic is under the back protector.
Hmm. It used to read on their FAQ page that it needed to be placed over a spine protector.I don't think that is correct. see page 8: http://www.leatt-brace.com/themes/leatt/images/MOTO_GPX_manual.pdf
It clearly states:
Chriskring is right about what it says in the manual.Hmm. It used to read on their FAQ page that it needed to be placed over a spine protector.
Where are the additional backplates for the adventures? That opens up options if there are different angle plates available.
thx..that would be cool... i've also planned to use the leatt with a core saver ...I have a six six one spine protector on my core saver that the top piece snaps off for just this reason. I'll let you know once I ride with it, and give feedback later...
Probably was just bad luck.djamgils, I been thinking about LB for about a month, only... so I may not know all the stories...
BUT, as LB has been used by MX rider for quite ling time, already and there was no reports about injuries caused by LB... I am afraid this tragic accident you wrote about, was freakin' bad luck :| Sorry for him.
The EVS would not work with many pressure suits because it would hit the shoulder cups off the pressure suits,this isn't a comfortable way to go,it's mostly designed for roost gaurds.If you are looking at less expensive neck braces, why not look into the EVS RC Evolution?
Yea, I cut my shoulder cups off years ago. Never even thought of thatThe EVS would not work with many pressure suits because it would hit the shoulder cups off the pressure suits,this isn't a comfortable way to go,it's mostly designed for roost gaurds.
Where did you find the backplate? I haven't seen any of them around.When I bought the Adventure a couple of weeks ago I also bought an extra backplate with a different angle (for DH). Works perfect for me....
Great comparison shots! Thanks, Ive wanted to try one on with my gear just for the heck of it, seems like a very, very worthwhile investment.Got my Leatt Moto a few weeks ago. Feels awesome, fits awesome, works awesome (already wrecked on it).
We have both in stock!Thanks heaps! Scott, do you guys carry any version?
Edit - I guess I should actually say do you have any in stock so I can come try it on and then buy instead of taking my chances from an online place. Heh, plus it's not cheaper online so you shouldn't be worried.
