Leatt Snowboard

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I choose the right Leatt helmet and goggle combination for downhill snowboarding?

  Pick a low-profile Leatt helmet that pairs with a matching goggle skirt for a sealed fit; Velocity series goggles (Velocity 6.5 or Velocity 4.5 Iriz) are designed to sit close to helmets and reduce gap. Look for Iriz anti-fog interchangeable lenses for changing light, and ensure the helmet works with a neck brace if you plan to use one.
• What’s the difference between the Velocity 4.5 Iriz and the Velocity 6.5 Iriz goggles?

  The Velocity 6.5 Iriz has a larger field of view and a fuller frame suited to wider faces or riders who prioritize peripheral vision, while the Velocity 4.5 Iriz is lower-profile for tighter helmet integration and smaller faces. Both use Iriz anti-fog lens technology and offer interchangeable lenses and removable mud/water shields for changing conditions.
• When should I choose 3DF 6.0 Impact Pants instead of 3DF 5.0 Impact Shorts for snowboarding?

  Choose 3DF 6.0 Impact Pants when you want maximum coverage and higher durability for big-mountain, park, or aggressive riding where impacts and harsh elements are likely; the numeric scale indicates greater protection and element resistance. Opt for 3DF 5.0 Impact Shorts if you prioritize mobility, lighter weight, and easier layering for less aggressive runs or warmer conditions.
• How does the SNX Pilot Men's Snow Jacket work with Leatt neck braces and ventilation systems?

  The SNX Pilot is built for neck-brace compatibility with a cut and closure system that allows a brace to sit without disrupting the jacket seal, and it uses ClimbVent connectors to keep the jacket secure when partially opened. It features HydraDri 3‑layer membrane construction, taped seams, and 30,000mm waterproofing with high breathability to balance weather protection and venting.
• What fit and sizing tips should I use when buying Leatt snow gear and protective layers?

  Follow the brand sizing chart for chest, waist, and inseam and consider the intended layering: size closer for a streamlined helmet/goggle fit or size up for extra insulation and base layers. For helmets, aim for a snug, even pressure around the head; for apparel, prioritize stretch fabrics and articulated cuts (Airfit/4‑way stretch) that allow full mobility while keeping armor and vents correctly positioned.
