虐待多少钱Leatt Body Protector 5.5采取？这是一个忏悔：我不是一个伟大的骑手，我崩溃了很多，特别是如果它是一场拉力赛或enduro培训课程。Here’s another confession: I have an exceptional talent for landing in weird angles, and usually, it’s either on hard rocks and boulders or off banks and ledges, so while I’m on a never-ending mission to improve my riding (and landing) skills, solid armor is essential for me.

我在冒险服务旅行，但我在赛车或新利18苹果训练时切换到摩托车越野赛，我有一个简单的胸部和背部保护器，一对轻质的肘护卫兵，因为我觉得更亮起。然而，今年，我去了Leatt身体保护器5.5，一个覆盖着我的背部，胸部，肩膀和肘部的摇滚固体装甲，我没有回头。Sure, it’s a large and bulky piece of gear to be carrying, I look like a weird Terminator and Predator cross, and it takes a while to wash and dry the thing after each race, but I’ve made it through motocross days and the Dinaric Rally in Croatia with zero bone breaks and fractures – which is a victory in my eyes.

保护和感觉

Leatt Body Protector 5.5表现出大而笨重，但感觉像一个舒适的外骨骼而不是黯然失色的重型盔甲。骑行时，我完全忘了，我甚至穿它，因为它非常适合它，你可以在几个地方调整尺寸以合适。The armor is clearly built for male riders, but because the chest plates are somewhat convex and flexible, it feels like it’s a good fit (you can push the chest plate in to make it concave however if you need a little extra room for the neck brace). The fabric is moisture-wicking, a big bonus for riding in hot weather, and it’s so soft you barely feel it on your skin.

该盔甲提供了最大的覆盖和保护。CE Level 2 protectors in the chest and back with 3D foam underneath, CE Level 1 in the arms, and there’s even some flank protection to cover the ribs in the form of flexible plastic and foam plus a kidney belt which helps support the weight of the armor. Because of all that protection, it is a little heavy, but once again, you can’t really feel it when riding. The US price point for the Leatt body protector 5.5 is $289; I’m thinking it would work well for ADV riding, too, if you simply throw an abrasion-resistant outer shell over it instead of a MX jersey.

总而言之，如果像我一样，这是一块梦幻般的装备，你偶尔会偶尔在硬岩上脱落。I see some rally riders opting for soft armor instead of hard shell, but for me, I just feel a lot more confident in this exoskeleton set up and I wouldn’t go back to light, MTB-style off-road gear again whether it’s for rally racing or just riding the trails.
