Moisture Cool, and AirMesh wicking fabrics work to deliver superior ventilation while built-in Anti-Odour technology helps to keep the compression sock smelling fresh. Make Sure You Wear It Correctly For Best PerformanceTo get the most from your body protector the chest protector should be positioned centrally along the vertical line of the sternum (breastbone) for maximum protection. To ensure maximum defense of the back area, it needs to be located centrally along the line of the spine, with the widest part of the back protector extending over the scapulae (shoulder blades) and with the lower edge of the back protector ending as close to the base of the spine as is comfortable. Elbow and Forearm protectors should be positioned centrally on the elbow and along the line of the ulna (forearm) bone to the little finger. Care should be taken to ensure that shoulder protectors are placed in position from halfway between the shoulder point and neck, down onto the upper arm; symmetrically, or biased to the front to give more frontal protection. Pro Tips For Getting Your Protector Gear OnHere are a few pro-tips to help you master getting into your gear:Compression Base Layer: Unzip the garment, fit onto the body, and zip up. Make sure the elbow and shoulder guards are positioned correctly as described above.Chest Protector: Unfasten the waist straps and place the Protector over your head, ensuring that it is in the correct orientation with the shorter chest plate to the front. Loop the straps into the locks moulded into each side of the protector and adjust the straps to a snug fit. When correctly adjusted and worn with the user’s safety helmet and a Leatt Neck Brace, the Chest Protector should allow the full range of normal head and neck movements (i.e. looking up, looking down, and looking side-to-side, such as when performing an over-the-shoulder check). The Chest Protector, Leatt Neck Brace, and the helmet should only come into contact with each other as the full range of normal movement is reached. When dressed in your protective gear, please check that you are able to perform these functions before beginning any ride.
