Collection: Chest Protectors

Chest protectors for motocross and enduro – how to find the right one

Next to helmet and goggles, the chest protector is the most important piece of off-road protection. It protects chest and back from roost thrown up by the rider in front and absorbs impacts in a crash. The range goes from lightweight roost deflectors to pro chest protectors with certified chest and back protection and neck brace mounting.

The key differences

• Roost deflector: light, mainly protects against stones (EN 14021). Ideal for beginners, training and kids.
• Chest protector with certified pads: additional chest and back protection to EN 1621-2/-3 for racing and enduro.
• Hard shell with foam: the shell spreads impacts, foam such as 3DF AirFit underneath absorbs them.
• Neck brace compatibility: if you ride with a neck brace, make sure the chest protector is compatible – for example LEATT BraceOn™.

Protection classes

• EN 1621-1: limb protectors for knees, elbows, shoulders and hips
• EN 1621-2: back protectors
• EN 1621-3: chest protectors
• EN 14021: roost deflectors (stone protection) for off-road
• Level 2 transmits less residual force in the test than Level 1 and therefore offers more impact protection.

Chest protector or body armour jacket?

A chest protector is quick to put on and, depending on the model, can be worn over or under the jersey. A body armour jacket fits closer and also protects shoulders and elbows.

FAQ

Which size do I need?

Size depends on height and weight. Many models come in one adult size plus XXL. Kids' sizes can be found under kids & youth protection.

Does a neck brace fit every chest protector?

No. Look for “neck brace compatible” in the product description. Neck braces can be found under neck braces.

What else belongs to the basic kit?

Besides the chest protector: knee guards, elbow guards and matching MX goggles.
