There used to be an instruction video on the Leatt website. The Leatt front and rear members should sit against the body, and the chest protector over the Leatt. We use both a Flak jacket and chest protector, but the flak jacket is made to work great with the leatt.

Put on chest protector first, then unlatch one side and slide it around his neck and inside the protector. Latch and adjust protector to make sure Leatt is resting on his shoulders and under the protector. Some protectors do not work well with the leatt.

some chest protectors dont work at all with the leatt. The best is the Thor Sentinel and the EVS

No idea about the Fox RaceFrame. The best idea is to call Fox direct and ask them and if you aren't satisfied with that answer call a shop that sells both the Leatt and the Fox Gear.

I dont have the Raceframe, but I was in the market for one. The guy at my local shop says they work w/ the Leatt.
My son had and Answer protector that wouldnt work w/ the Leatt. We just got him a new one last week....Another Answer, just a different model.

The Fox will "work" with the leatt but does still rquire some modification. What you need to remember is there is to be NO interference with the leatt and it should not move with the chest protector or it will not work properly. It needs to rest firmly on the shoulders chest and back at all times.

to tell you the truth a chest protector is ok for protection but more for show..
the flak jacket is top of the line in safety,fully padded w kidney belt built in.
not to mention the leatt brace slides in a pocket in the back and the front rests on the front.
brandons fox chest protector from last year cost me more than the jacket.
