5.5 Evo MTB Body Protector

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve used the 5.5 Evo MTB Body Protector for big, rough days when I want real protection without overheating. The ventilation is a huge upgrade, and the flex joints keep everything moving naturally. Once I strap it in, the coverage feels dialed and stays put even when the terrain gets unpredictable."

When we gear up for steep lines or full-commitment terrain, we want armor that supports our movement without weighing us down. The 5.5 Evo MTB Body Protector answers that need with a hard shell and breathable FlexMesh Pro system that wraps the torso, shoulders, and elbows in security while letting air flow freely across long rides. The design flexes naturally, so we can move from technical climbs to fast, choppy descents without feeling confined.

The multi-plate layout shifts with our body position, offering stable protection as we lean, brake, or absorb impacts. Adjustable flank panels secure the ribs and sides, while a height-adjustable kidney belt anchors the fit and reduces motion. A modular zip-up compression layer improves comfort and airflow, and removable plates allow us to tailor coverage or integrate a neck brace for more demanding days. From local enduro tracks to rowdy moto terrain, this system helps us ride harder with confidence and control.
