For all you guys that run the Leatt, specifically the sport, which chest protector fits well with it?

Fox Raceframe doesn't fit. Good thing it was $150.

I run a Fox Airframe and it works, and hubby runs a Thor Quadrant that works as well.

None of them fit very well with a Leatt.That's why you see so many pros removing the shoulder pads and mounting the chest and back protectors directly to the Leatt. I replaced the shoulder cups with leather straps to fashion a sandwich board out of my chest protector and it's been working well for the last few years.

UFO Reactor 2. It was designed in order to work with a neck brace.

I've heard conflicting reports regarding this, even did a google search on it. Some say it works with no modification, some say you need to cut down the foam, and some say it doesn't work, period. I'm looking at buying one (Sentinel) and would like to know for sure.
Did you have to cut yours down to make it fit?

It depends on your body size, I don't have to cut my thor sentinel it just fits in perfect. But some of my friends had to trim it up a lot.

I bought one of these and it works great.

I did have to remove some of my EVS and the issue is the shoulder width. When you raise your arms, if the shoulders of the chest protector are too wide then they push the Leatt brace into your helmet.

Most guys I see wearing one with a Sentinel that haven't modified it are wearing it incorrectly with the Leatt sitting on top of the Sentinel on the sides. For my son we had to trim the plastic significantly on the shoulder strap section to get the Leatt underneath.

Why do you wan't the Leatt to sit on your collarbone? I use a backprotector + sentinel with the leatt tucked betweeen the sentinel and the backprotector. I let the front of the Leatt sit outside of the chest protector, in my world this setup will spread out the impact even more. Especially when the Leatt isn't resting directly at my back.

Thor Sentinel works fine for me and all my mates, without any modifications. I think that Fox Raceframe needs some mod's for it too work as others said.
