Is your Leatt Brace not fitting properly? Most probably because you are wearing it incorrectly.
Ask me. It took me 3 years to find out that that I was wearing the wrong Leatt brace over my BMW jackets. I struggled to get the GPX to fit properly over jackets, and now I know why. Because it was never made to be worn over a jacket! The Leatt STX is made for that purpose!
"The LEATT STX is the perfect neck protection for an over the garment fit!
Unlike the off-road GPX and the bicycle DBX neck brace which are designed for an on the body fit the STX will be at its best over your riding gear!
So be warned to aspiring Leatt GPX 5.5 owners: the GPX 5.5 is meant to be worn over a riding vest - directly over the shoulders and neck only, not over a thickly padded BMW Rallye, Tourshell or Airshell jacket.
Lesson learned!
