Leatt 4.0 Impact Shorts - Black

The Leatt Impact Shorts 3DF 4.0 are a compression-fit base layer short with built-in hip impact protection, thigh padding and a padded seat chamois. They are designed to be worn under riding pants so you keep protection where it matters most in a fall, without adding bulk to your outer gear.

Built for off-road riders — motocross, enduro and trail — the shorts combine Leatt's 3DF impact foam with moisture-wicking, anti-odour fabrics and mesh ventilation, so they stay comfortable through long, hot days in the saddle. The chamois adds welcome relief on longer rides and transport stages.

• 3DF impact protection at the hips, CE tested and certified to EN 1621-1 Level 1
• Additional padding across the thighs
• Padded seat chamois for comfort on longer rides
• Compression fit in anti-odour MoistureCool fabric
• AirMesh wicking panels and mesh ventilation
• Flatlock stitching to reduce chafing under riding pants
• Extra-wide stretch waistband for a comfortable hold
• Silicone-printed elastic leg cuffs to stop the shorts riding up
• Pre-shaped 3D construction for a closer fit on the bike
• Available in sizes S to 2XL

Wear next to the skin, under your riding pants, with the 3DF pads sitting squarely over the hip bones before you pull your outer gear on.
Check each ride that the hip pads have not shifted out of position and that the waistband and leg cuffs still hold the shorts in place.
Wash by hand or on a gentle cold cycle with a mild detergent; turn the shorts inside out to protect the silicone leg prints.
Do not use bleach, fabric softener or solvents — they break down the wicking and anti-odour finish and can degrade the impact foam.
Do not tumble dry, iron or dry-clean; hang to air dry in the shade, away from direct sunlight and heaters.
Wash regularly after sweaty rides so the MoistureCool and AirMesh fabrics keep breathing and wicking properly.
Store flat or hanging in a cool, dry place, and avoid leaving the shorts compressed or folded hard over the pads for long periods.
Inspect the foam and fabric after any crash; replace the shorts if the padding is torn, permanently compressed or no longer springs back.
Replace the shorts if seams, the waistband or the cuffs fail, as a loose fit moves the protection away from the hip.
