DescriptionThe whole story▼
The Leatt Body Protector 3DF AirFit Lite Evo brings Level 2 chest and back protection into a garment that wears like a long-sleeved compression shirt. Instead of rigid plates, Leatt uses 3DF AirFit impact foam across chest, back, shoulders and elbows, a material that stays supple while you move and is designed to cope with more than one impact.
That combination makes the Lite Evo a strong pick for enduro and trail riders who spend whole days on the bike and want armour they forget they are wearing. An expanded chest panel, padded flanks and the slimmer BraceOn™ fitting for Leatt neck braces complete the package, and Leatt rates the set-up at 18 points on its own protection score.
Key Features
- Chest certified to EN 1621-3 Level 2, back to EN 1621-2 Level 2
- Shoulder and elbow pads certified to EN 1621-1 Level 1
- Soft 3DF AirFit foam, built by Leatt to absorb multiple impacts
- Expanded chest panel and a full-length back protector
- Padded flanks for additional coverage along the ribs
- New, slimmer BraceOn™ fitting system for Leatt neck braces
- Anti-odour MoistureCool and AirMesh wicking fabrics
- Five single sizes, S to XXL, for riders from 160 to 196 cm
Protection and Certification
Each protection zone of the Lite Evo has been CE-tested and certified as impact protection. The chest pad meets EN 1621-3 at Level 2 and the full-length back pad meets EN 1621-2 at Level 2, the higher of the two performance levels in both standards. The shoulder and elbow pads are certified to EN 1621-1 at Level 1.
The French Motorcycle Federation (FFM) has also approved the protector. The figure of 18 points is a Leatt protection score, an in-house rating the manufacturer uses to place its body protectors against each other; it is not part of the CE standard.
Fit and Sizing
Leatt cuts the Lite Evo in single sizes, S, M, L, XL and XXL, rather than the combined S/M or L/XL steps of several other Leatt protectors. Across that run, the manufacturer quotes a body height of 160 to 196 cm.
The 3D shape and the compression fit keep every pad pressed onto the right spot, which is what lets foam armour work properly in a crash. Padded flanks follow the sides of the torso, so the protection does not end at the edge of the chest panel. Pick the size that fits snugly against the body; a loose compression garment lets pads shift.
Materials and Climate
The base garment is made from MoistureCool and AirMesh fabrics. Both wick moisture away from the skin and carry an anti-odour treatment, which pays off on multi-day enduro trips when there is no time to wash between rides.
Leatt describes the Lite Evo as lightweight, ventilated protection; the starting weight given by the manufacturer is 1.35 kg. The soft foam pads bend with the torso instead of standing proud of it, so the protector sits flat under a motocross jersey.
Neck Brace Compatibility
For riders who use a Leatt neck brace, the Lite Evo carries the new, slimmer BraceOn™ fitting system. It is designed to give the brace a seamless fit on the protector, so you do not have to choose between neck brace and body armour.
Care
Leatt designed the protector to be easy to hand wash. Wash out sweat and dust after a ride and let the garment dry completely before you pack it away. It is delivered in plastic-free packaging.
What you should know
The Lite Evo relies on soft 3DF AirFit foam. If deflecting roost from the rider ahead is your first priority, look at Leatt models with a hard chest plate, such as the 3DF AirFit Hybrid or the 4.5 and 5.5 Evo. Remember too that Level 2 covers chest and back only; shoulders and elbows are certified at Level 1.
Because the sizes are single letters, there is less overlap between steps than with a combined S/M size. Check your chest measurement against the size chart before ordering, and choose the tighter fit if you are in doubt, since compression armour only protects well when it stays in place.
Colour
Leatt lists this version as Black. On the product photos the mesh reads as a deep charcoal, with the AirFit Lite lettering and a small red accent on the chest. Under a jersey it simply disappears, and the dark fabric does not show trail dust or sweat marks the way a light colour would.
