Hey lookin at these and dont know if its worth getting the A4. It is the longest backplate ive ever seen and although good do most people find it comfortable? If people like it and think its worth it I will pick the A4 as I dont want regrets but just seeing what most people use...
thanks

thanks!
Otherwise they are both pretty similar.
The Shop
any critiques?
Ordered and tried on the A-4 and Leatt 4.5 back to back. The shoulder adjustments on the A-4 let you adjust how high the back plate sits on you can move it up. If you have a short torso it might not be enough. However, the A-4 felt much cheaper(but lighter) than I thought it would be. I went with the leatt 4.5. To me, the A-4 is 40 bucks more for the same style of coverage but less quality protection. No problems with overheating or rubbing so far.
A-4 and A-1 is rated at "level 1" protection in the back and level 1 in the front.
Leatt has level 2 both front and back.
Don't quote me on that but i understand the difference is tested ability to withstand certain impacts in addition to just roost.
