Leatt 2.5 CHEST PROTECTOR Manual Del Usuario página 3

Leatt ® Corporation's personal protective equipment is not designed or intended to protect a
wearer against serious bodily injuries caused by hard collisions or crashes. Protective equipment
such as stone shields offer protection only against lofted stones or debris. Protective equipment
such as back or lumbar protectors do not protect against spinal injury. No protective equipment
can protect the wearer from all foreseeable impacts.

Use
Products meeting the requirements of the technical specifications listed above are intended to reduce the
severity or incidence of soft tissue injuries such as bruising, contusions, cuts and abrasions during off-road
motorcycling and biking activities, such as Moto-X, Enduro, Downhill MTB, BMX and Adventure Sports
- Products meeting the requirements of the technical specifications may reduce the severity and/or
incidence of some more serious injuries such as minor fractures.
- Products meeting the requirements of the technical specifications cannot significantly mitigate against
major injuries, such as serious fractures resulting from extreme impact forces or torsion/flexion/bending/
crushing injuries and neurological spinal injuries. Currently available materials and technology do not allow
this level of protection to be attained in products which would be acceptable to wear and which would
allow physical activities to be conducted and completed satisfactorily.

Positioning of Leatt ® protection range
No single size of body protection can accommodate all body dimensions because of variation in height and
shape. In addition, Leatt ® impact protectors can only provide the maximum achievable level of protection when
they are correctly positioned and adequately secured on the wearer. In particular users should avoid choosing
too big a protector because of the potential of interference with the helmet that, should it occur, can result in
a dangerous riding condition. If the primary impact protector components do not correctly fit and cover the
following areas, an alternative size may be required:
Back protector: Back protectors should be located centrally along the line of the spine, with the widest part of
the back protector extending over the scapulae (shoulder blades) and with the lower edge of the back protector
ending as close to the base of the spine as is comfortable.
Chest protector: Chest protectors should be positioned centrally along the vertical line of the sternum
(breastbone).
Adjustment
Unfasten the waist straps and place the Leatt ® Protector over your head, ensuring that it is in the correct
orientation with the shorter chest plate to the front. Loop the straps into the locks molded into each side of the
protector and adjust the straps to a snug fit. When correctly-adjusted and worn with the user's safety helmet
and a Leatt ® Brace, the protector should allow the full range of normal head and neck movements (i.e.: looking
up, looking down and looking side-to-side, such as when performing an over-the-shoulder check); the protector,
Leatt ® Brace and the helmet only coming into contact with each other as the full range of normal movement is
reached. With your Leatt ® protectors in place, check that you are able to.
