2017 LEATT GPX 5.5 OFF-ROAD GEAR

and bruises. Another essential
piece of protection was the 3DF
Hybrid knee and shin guards.
By the end of two days they had
battle marks, showing clearly
where they had provided protec-
tion. The first day on the moun-
tain I opted out of any upper
body protection, but after seeing
a few crashes the first day I
gladly ran the Leatt body vest
3DF AirFit Lite under my shirt for
day two. It provides a lot of pro-
tection with minimal restriction.
This is a piece I plan on using for
dirt bike riding as the weather
cools down. The most important
part of the downhill kit, the Leatt
DBX 5.0 composite helmet was
comfortable, light and provided
great ventilation.
Whistler, B.C. is a bucket list
destination for a lot of mountain
bike riders and after two full days
living the mountain bike dream
(during the famous Crankworx
event nonetheless) I have an-
other hobby to fill any free time
I can find. Thanks to Leatt and
their extensive line of mountain
bike protective gear, I will be
much safer as I bomb down the
trail on my mountain bike making
dirt bike noises. CN

McCord had
a Leatt chest
protector on under
the shredded
jersey or his back
would have been
toast! (Below)
The all-new GPX
5.5 off-road gear
from Leatt is
super lightweight
and very well
ventilated.
