Instead of a hard cup, it relies on 3DF AirFit foam that stays pliable while you ride and is certified to EN 1621-1 Level 1 for the knee.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeatt itself calls it probably the most comfortable knee protection you can wear. Whether that holds for your legs is something to try on, but the ingredients are clear: a pre-curved shape, a perforated neoprene sleeve and a Deflexion outer layer that adds durability without bulk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCE certified to EN 1621-1 Level 1 for the knee area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3DF AirFit impact foam stays flexible on the bike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeflexion abrasion-resistant outer layer over the knee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-curved design that follows the bent riding position\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll protective material and the neoprene sleeve perforated for airflow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilicone-printed, adjustable leg straps plus an anti-slip calf band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeatt protection score of 16 points (manufacturer rating)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive single sizes from S to XXL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProtection and certification\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe knee zone of the 3DF 5.0 Evo is tested and certified as impact protection to EN 1621-1, the standard for limb protectors, at Level 1. Level 1 is the base performance class of that norm; riders who want the higher class should look at a Level 2 guard such as the Leatt 6.0 Evo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeatt adds its own protection score of 16 points. This is a manufacturer rating that combines several in-house criteria, not a figure from the CE test, so treat it as a way to compare Leatt models with each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterials and construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe impact layer is 3DF AirFit foam, a soft compound that bends with the knee and needs no rigid shell. Over it sits a Deflexion outer material, which Leatt describes as ultra-durable and abrasion resistant; it is there to survive ground contact and the rub of knee-gripping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcross the knee the chassis uses a 4-way stretch fabric, and this stretch area is part of the CE-certified construction. The whole guard is pre-curved, so it does not have to be forced into shape when you bend your leg.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eVentilation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery piece of protective material is perforated, and so is the neoprene sleeve that holds it. The sleeve also wicks moisture, which matters on long enduro loops where a closed neoprene tube would soon feel like a sauna.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFit and sizing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeatt uses single sizing here, meaning S, M, L, XL and XXL rather than combined sizes. Two silicone-printed leg straps can be adjusted to your thigh and calf, and an anti-slip band at the calf keeps the guard from creeping down during a moto.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the protector is soft and slim, it is aimed at riders who wear it under their pants all day, from motocross training to trail rides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you should know\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 3DF 5.0 Evo has no hard shell over the kneecap, so it does not offer the sliding behaviour of a hard-cap guard, and it is certified at Level 1, not Level 2. It is a knee guard, not a knee brace: there are no hinges and no ligament support. It carries no shin plate either.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eColour\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe black version keeps the guard visually quiet under any pant colour, and the dark Deflexion layer hides the grey dust film that builds up after a few dry laps. Black fabric does warm up a little more in direct sun, which the perforated sleeve offsets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKnee guard (soft impact protection)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCertification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEN 1621-1 Level 1 (knee)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLeatt protection score\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 points (manufacturer rating)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImpact material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3DF AirFit impact foam, perforated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter layer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDeflexion, abrasion resistant\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSleeve\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePerforated neoprene, moisture-wicking\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRetention\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSilicone-printed adjustable leg straps, anti-slip calf band\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e486 g per pair (manufacturer)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSizes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eS, M, L, XL, XXL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Leatt","offers":[{"title":"S \/ Black","offer_id":54033445519626,"sku":"5025202540","price":99.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"M \/ Black","offer_id":54033445552394,"sku":"5025202541","price":99.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"L \/ Black","offer_id":54033445585162,"sku":"5025202542","price":99.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL \/ Black","offer_id":54033445617930,"sku":"5025202543","price":99.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XXL \/ Black","offer_id":54033445650698,"sku":"5025202544","price":99.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/leatt-knee-guard-3df-5-0-evo-black__1.png?v=1793444674","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/products\/leatt-knee-guard-3df-5-0-evo-black","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
