Leatt ReaFlex Body Protector – Black

Serious protection. Zero stiffness. Full send approved.

Meet the body protector that doesn’t ride like one. The Leatt ReaFlex blends lab-grade impact tech with trail-ready flexibility, so you stay protected without feeling like a walking exoskeleton.

At the core is Leatt’s ReaFlex gel—soft and compliant while you move, but instantly stiffening on impact to absorb and disperse energy. Translation: it flows when you ride, locks up when you crash.

The result is full upper-body coverage that moves with you, breathes with you, and doesn’t get in your way when things get rowdy.

What’s Going On Under the Jersey

• ReaFlex Impact Gel: Smart material that stays flexible until impact, where it hardens to absorb force.
• Two-Part System: Zip-up compression base layer paired with a floating chest and back shell.
• AirMesh and MoistureCool Fabrics: Designed to maximise airflow and manage moisture on long, demanding rides.
• Floating Protection Panels: Chest and back sections move independently to match your body position.

Protection Without the Bulk

• ReaFlex chest and back protection
• Integrated shoulder and elbow guards
• Flank padding for additional side coverage
• Low-profile design that fits comfortably under a jersey

You get full coverage without the restrictive feel of traditional armour.

Short Description

Flexible, breathable full-body armour featuring ReaFlex impact gel, designed to move freely while riding and stiffen on impact when protection matters most.

Why You Should Buy This

Because protection only works if you actually want to wear it.

The ReaFlex Body Protector solves the usual trade-off—high-level protection versus real ride comfort. It’s light, breathable, and moves naturally, so you’re not constantly adjusting, overheating, or counting the minutes until you can take it off.

At the same time, it delivers serious impact protection across all key zones, with materials that actively respond when things go wrong.

If you ride hard enough to need protection—but still want to ride fast, loose, and unrestricted—this hits the sweet spot.
