Product Information
Full details
The Leatt ReaFlex Body Protector is an ideal solution for mountain bikers and gravity riders who require high-level, CE-certified impact protection without sacrificing mobility. This modular, two-piece system utilizes advanced impact gel that stays flexible during normal movement but hardens instantly upon impact, offering a 19-point Leatt protection score. While its slim profile is excellent for comfort and under-jersey wear, users should note that the compression-style fit requires precise sizing to ensure the integrated protectors remain correctly positioned during intense riding.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this protector suitable for full-day riding?
Yes, the ReaFlex impact gel and moisture-wicking fabrics are specifically designed for long-duration comfort.
Can I remove the shoulder and elbow pads?
The ReaFlex system is modular, allowing for adjustments to accommodate your personal preference and specific ride requirements.
How do I know if the gear is the right size?
It should feel like a tight second skin without restricting your breathing or blood flow; pads should sit squarely over your shoulders and elbows.
Does this provide protection for my ribs?
Yes, the garment includes padded flanks to provide coverage for the sides and rib areas.
Is it compatible with non-Leatt neck braces?
While it is optimized for Leatt, the low-profile design is generally compatible with many standard neck brace models on the market.
What does the protection score of 19 mean?
The protection score is a proprietary Leatt metric that quantifies the total level of safety the gear provides across all tested zones.
Troubleshooting
Pads shifting during aggressive riding
Adjust the integrated straps to ensure a tighter, more secure fit against the joints.
Difficulty putting on the protector
Ensure the zipper is fully opened and utilize the stretch in the compression sock material for easier entry.
Armor feels hot or damp
Check that you are wearing a breathable base layer beneath the protector and ensure the mesh panels are not blocked by outer clothing.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High level of flexibility allows for full range of motion while riding
- Breathable fabric construction prevents overheating
- Modular design allows for versatile layering options
- Excellent integration with neck braces
- Low-profile silhouette fits discreetly under jerseys
Cons
- Compression fit may feel restrictive if sized incorrectly
- Requires careful adjustment to keep pads in the optimal position
- Full-body coverage can still be warmer than a standalone back protector
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal safety, verify the fit of the shoulder and elbow pads before tightening the adjustment straps. The compression base layer should be snug against the skin to prevent the armor from shifting.
Compatibility: This protector is designed for universal use but is specifically optimized for Leatt neck braces via the BraceOn system.
Care Instructions:
- Remove the impact foam inserts before washing the compression garment.
- Hand wash the fabric chassis with mild detergent to maintain the integrity of the wicking fibers.
- Air dry the protector in a shaded area; do not use a tumble dryer or direct heat, as this can degrade the protective materials.
- Periodically inspect the gel inserts for any signs of hardening or cracking.
