Its signature feature is a set of adjustable hard flank panels that wrap the ribs and sides, combined with an extended back plate and Level 2 certification for chest and back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite that coverage, the 5.5 Evo keeps the airflow of FlexMesh Pro. Leatt states that the current version is 19 % lighter and 50 % more ventilated than the previous model, and gives it 24 points on its protection score, the highest figure in this group of Leatt body protectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable hard flank panels for rib and side protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended back plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCE Level 2: chest EN 1621-3, back EN 1621-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCE Level 1: shoulders and elbows EN 1621-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard shell with articulated FlexMesh Pro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate compression suit with front zip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemovable front and rear plates, slimmer BraceOn™\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISR rated, FFM certified, 24 points on the Leatt protection score\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCoverage on the Sides\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 5.5 Evo puts particular emphasis on the sides of the torso. It uses hard flank panels that you can adjust to your build, so they sit close over the ribs instead of flapping. The extended back plate lengthens spinal coverage, and Leatt describes the combination as great rib and side protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCertified Protection\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eChest and back are CE-tested and certified at Level 2 under EN 1621-3 and EN 1621-2. The shoulder and elbow guards, integrated in the compression suit, are certified to EN 1621-1 Level 1. The 5.5 Evo is also ISR rated and approved by the French Motorcycle Federation (FFM).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeatt's protection score of 24 points is a manufacturer rating used to compare its own protectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHard Shell That Moves\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shell is combined with FlexMesh Pro, an articulated structure with flex joints that allow 3D flexing and natural movement. Leatt describes the 5.5 Evo as ventilated protection that keeps you cool, and quotes 50 % more ventilation and 19 % less weight compared with the previous model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccording to the composition supplied by Leatt, the protector consists of 43 % TPU, 30 % high-density polyethylene, 11 % fabric, 11 % cross-linked polyethylene and Lycra, and 5 % other materials. The listed weight is 2.40 kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eModular Fit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hard-shell protector is worn over a separate compression suit with a front zip and integrated shoulder and elbow protection. A height-adjustable kidney belt sets the shell at the right point on your torso. Front and rear plates are removable, and the new, slimmer BraceOn™ system makes the protector compatible with Leatt neck braces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeatt offers sizes S, M, L, XL and XXL for heights from 160 to 196 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you should know\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaximum coverage comes with weight: at 2.40 kg according to Leatt, the 5.5 Evo is the heaviest protector in this group, and the hard flank panels need a moment to adjust properly. If you mainly ride trails and value low weight over side coverage, a lighter model such as the 4.5 Evo or a soft-shell AirFit protector may suit you better. Shoulders and elbows are Level 1.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eColour\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe black 5.5 Evo shows red buckles and red accents on the chest plate on Leatt's product images, giving the protector a racier look than an all-black finish. Under a jersey the red disappears, so it works with any colour scheme.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConstruction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHard shell with FlexMesh Pro, separate compression suit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eChest\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEN 1621-3 Level 2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBack\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEN 1621-2 Level 2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShoulders and elbows\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEN 1621-1 Level 1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eExtras\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdjustable hard flank panels, extended back plate, height-adjustable kidney belt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNeck brace\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBraceOn™ compatible, removable front and rear plates\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43 % TPU, 30 % HDPE, 11 % fabric, 11 % cross-linked PE and Lycra, 5 % other\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSizes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eS, M, L, XL, XXL (160–196 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.40 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApprovals\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCE, ISR rated, FFM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Leatt","offers":[{"title":"S \/ Black","offer_id":54033460887818,"sku":"5025202260","price":359.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"M \/ Black","offer_id":54033460920586,"sku":"5025202261","price":359.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"L \/ Black","offer_id":54033460953354,"sku":"5025202262","price":359.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL \/ Black","offer_id":54033460986122,"sku":"5025202263","price":359.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XXL \/ Black","offer_id":54033461018890,"sku":"5025202264","price":359.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/leatt-body-protector-5-5-evo-black__2.png?v=1793444975","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/products\/leatt-body-protector-5-5-evo-black","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
