Hi im looking at doing a bit of racing next year things like finke thumb pump and maybe a few oters but im wondering what are the requirements for body armour i have a leatt neck brace and leatt adventure chest armour at the moment is that enough or should i be looking for something different. What are people using also i want it to fit with a leatt neck brace.

This is what i have at the moment.

What is the back part of it like, the most important thing with body armour for ATv racing is the back protector part covering enough of your spine

Its basically just a MX roost guard style armour it only cover ls around 2/3 of the back. Are there minimum requirements with body armour and back protection.

That should be fine, i have run one of those for quite a while now, and it has passed every time. Its quite good protection on the back. And very comfortable.

I reckon you may need a kidney belt to go with that roost protector for the likes of finke
