Product Information
Full details
The Leatt 3DF Hybrid EXT Knee & Shin Guard is designed for adult riders seeking a blend of soft-impact flexibility and hard-shell protection. Its key benefit is providing the comfort of a soft knee pad with the added security of a full-length shin guard, ensuring comprehensive lower leg protection. A potential consideration is ensuring proper fit with specific boot styles due to the shin plate. This guard combines advanced impact foam with a hard-shell slider, moisture-wicking fabrics, and a secure strapping system for comfort and performance.

FAQs
What is the Total Leatt Protection Score for this guard?
The Leatt 3DF Hybrid EXT Knee & Shin Guard has a Total Leatt Protection Score of 19 points.
Are these guards certified for impact protection?
Yes, they are CE tested and certified as Impact Protection for Knee and Shin according to EN1621-1 Level 1 standards.
Can I wear these guards with my regular pants?
Yes, their slim profile allows them to be worn comfortably under most riding pants. They can also be worn over thinner base layers.
What is the main difference between soft and hard-shell protection?
Soft impact foam (like 3DF) offers flexibility and shock absorption from moderate impacts, while hard-shell provides a rigid barrier against direct impacts and abrasion.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the sizing guide provided by Leatt. Generally, measure the circumference of your knee and shin. The product description lists available sizes like L/XL and XXL.
Are these guards suitable for all types of riding?
They are suitable for a wide range of activities including mountain biking, motocross, downhill, enduro, and BMX where a combination of knee and shin protection is beneficial.
Can the shin slider be removed?
The product description does not indicate that the shin slider is removable. It is integrated into the design for combined protection.
Troubleshooting
Guard slips down the leg during activity
Ensure the non-slip leg straps are tightened securely but comfortably. Clean the inside of the straps and the leg area to remove any dirt or moisture that might reduce grip. Check if the size is appropriate for your leg circumference.
Shin plate interferes with boot closure
Adjust the position of the guard slightly. Ensure the straps are not over-tightened, which can push the guard out of alignment. Consider if your specific boot model has an unusually tight or restrictive lower cuff.
Discomfort or chafing
Verify that the guard is positioned correctly and the straps are not too tight. Ensure the inner moisture-wicking lining is clean. Try wearing a thin base layer under the guard.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The guards are designed for immediate use. Simply slide them onto your legs, ensuring the knee padding is centered over your kneecap and the shin plate extends down your shin. Adjust the non-slip leg straps for a snug but comfortable fit. Ensure the straps are positioned correctly to prevent slippage without cutting off circulation.
Compatibility: The slim profile and specific design aim for compatibility with most adult-sized riding boots. It is recommended to try them on with your specific boots to confirm a comfortable and non-interfering fit, especially around the ankle and lower leg area.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your guards:
- Hand wash using mild soap and cold water.
- Rinse thoroughly.
- Air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Do not machine wash, tumble dry, bleach, or iron.
