Leatt Chest Protector 1.5 Black — EN14021 certified slim rib and torso guard with removable plates

The Leatt Chest Protector 1.5 Black is a certified, slim-profile chest guard designed to protect your ribs and torso while remaining comfortable and low-profile under or over a jersey.

Built to EN14021 standards, the Leatt Chest Protector 1.5 blends a contoured 3D shape with removable plates and compatibility with Leatt neck braces to deliver essential torso protection without bulk. Its close-fitting silhouette works equally well beneath or over riding apparel, making it versatile for trail riders, enduro racers, and recreational cyclists who want validated impact coverage with minimal restriction.

How does the 1.5 provide protection without feeling bulky?

The chest guard uses a contoured 3D construction that hugs the chest and ribs, reducing movement and ride interference. Rigid front and rear plates help disperse impact energy while the slim profile keeps the protector unobtrusive under clothing.

• EN14021 certified chest protection for verified impact resistance
• 3D-shaped panels for an anatomically close fit
• Low-profile design fits comfortably under or over a jersey

Can I use this with a Leatt neck brace or a jersey?

Yes — the 1.5 includes removable front and rear plates and the BraceOn system for compatibility with Leatt neck braces. The snug cut allows riders to wear it beneath a jersey for a streamlined race setup or over clothing for casual trail days.

• BraceOn system enables secure neck brace integration
• Removable plates let you tailor protection level and fit
• Designed for both over-jersey and under-jersey wear

What features make it comfortable for long rides?

Comfort is achieved through the chest protector's close-fitting 3D design, which minimizes shifting and chafing. Breathable construction and the option to remove plates where you don’t need them reduce weight and heat buildup on extended outings.

• Ergonomic 3D shaping for reduced pressure points
• Removable components cut bulk and improve airflow
• Snug fit prevents bouncing and keeps movement natural

How easy is it to customize or maintain the protector?

The front and rear plates are removable so you can adjust protection or wash the garment more easily. The simple hardware and modular design mean quick swaps and uncomplicated cleaning after muddy rides.

• Removable plates for customization and easier washing
• Durable materials that stand up to regular use and cleaning
• Simple fastening and component access for fast adjustments

Who is this for? The Leatt Chest Protector 1.5 Black is aimed at mountain bikers, enduro and trail riders, and anyone seeking certified chest protection that won’t interfere with performance. If you want EN14021-rated coverage, a close, low-profile fit, and compatibility with Leatt neck braces — while keeping the option to wear the guard under a jersey — this model delivers a balanced blend of safety, comfort, and versatility.
