I just cant understand the difference between this one and the fox raceframe. Same price but on the raceframe, there are no elbow and shoulder pads. Does it mean that the back and front protection of titan jacket is worst???
I want to buy a body armour for BMX and Dirt Jumping so i need as much mobility as possible with good protection cuz drops from a couple of meters can do some real damage especially with a skinny guy like me. Is it any good or should i look at something else?
Apart from looking at BMX armor specifically, this would be a good option. But keep in mind it is designed for dirt bikes, so you would be making some concessions.

You can wear this as a stand-alone option if you wish but most riders, including myself, wear a jersey over top of this armored jacket. Ride Safe! -Brandon
Hey, do you think it's good option for supermoto? To protect me from scratches from asphalt etc. I really don't like leather combs etc. I know they would protect me better but I would love to buy somethink like this for supermoto
This jacket is designed for impact protection and not abrasion resistance. You'd need the abrasion resistance on the street so if you want to wear this armor rig, you would need to add something to combat the asphalt overtop of it.
Would this be capable of taking a low/mid speed slide on the street for duak sport/ADV riders? Hard to find street armour that articulates like mx armour but worried about abrasion resistance. Any suggestions?
This armor rig has no abrasion resistance built in for the asphalt. It will certainly help on the impact side if you hit the deck, but it is designed for off road use so Fox did not build any abrasion resistance into the rig. You can certainly wear it on the street, but you would definitely want to wear a jacket with abrasion built in over top of it.

Level 2 armor can get thicker and much more bulky. So considering the target audience is mostly having slower crashes off-road and look for ventilation/maneuverability more often, most dirt manufactures opt for level 1 over 2.

You certainly can, just keep in mind this jacket is not designed to provide abrasion resistance for street use. I'd recommend throwing a textile or leather jacket on top if you're utilizing this armor on the tarmac. Cheers! -Brandon
While it may not originally be designed for this application, this is certainly something that would have come in handy for me at the terrain park quite a few times. To answer your question, yes - it can be used for snowboarding. Cheers! -Brandon
Yes, the Leatt neck braces are designed to work with Leatt armor rigs as well as third party ones like this Fox. It will just sit on top of the armor rather than being integrated in the pockets like it would be with a Leatt rig. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our Gear Geeks in customer service! - Pat
@@RevZilla I'd like to point out that I e-mailed FOX and Leatt regarding this question and both said the neck brace won't work on this model. Has anyone ever tested it to see if it does really fit? Thank you!
I haven't tried the new one, but the old one just by looking at it has kidney pads and the plastic armor sticks out more, which I presume would absorb impact better since there's more "space" between the plate and your body. It also looks cooler imo as it's been used in B sci-fi movies and stuff. I've also seen NYPD use it recently as bike mounted riot gear the last coupla days so I guess it's pretty decent protection. Though I didn't get to try the "brick test" on them...jk :P The new one just seems "more compact" so if you wear it under a ski jacket like I do, it wouldn't be as obvious I guess.
With no abrasion resistance built in, it wouldn't help much for a slide on tarmac. You could add a layer of abrasion resistant material over top like a jacket, but this was primarily designed for off road use.
