I would get the small Leat based on what my med large looked like on you. |

Brad, did you find a local store? or are you going for some online deal? cheapest online I could find is 250 (for a dbx comp) |

The local stores that sell leatt braces don't keep them in stock and only order them in if you are going to 100% buy. I am going to head over to Descent-gear in a few weeks as they stock every single model of leatt and will have ride Kinver freeride park while im there. |

Bradley go have a chat with Justin or Colin at Online Bikes. They are very chilled and often get stuff in for me with no obligations to purchase. |

I had a chat with colin a couple of weeks ago and he said that they can't order any leatt products in unless I am going to buy them as they can't return them. |

Wouldn't mind trying that one day to see if it fits with my armour. |

Yeah no probs, well compared with the alpinestar, it is damn light. I have just ordered new padding which is 5mm lower profile than stock padding (oh, and its green and pink) |

Thanks Bradley. Didn't think you would stick with stock colour for long |

Im still not 100% sure whether I will run just the brace alone, or with body armour. I know with 661 they have the removable spine-plate, so taking that out should allow the brace to sit fine. But, if you wanted some spine protection, maybe snap a couple of the panels out the back-plate. Also, I was reading some on-line reviews about the brace, and there are a lot of mixed views about D2 shaped helmets working with the GPX brace, so I have decided to buy a THE helmet. |

What happened to the carbon Leatt? Didn't realise you even had that one. |

Ah, thought it was a carbon mtb one. The non-carbon one is probably lighter then! |

This one still has a carbon backplate! And it does feel lighter. |
