Shoulder pads fall off

This is my second chest and shoulder protector.My first was a 2000's Thor motocross model. I had decided that it has kept me from snapping a collar bone several times. I convinced my wife that I probably should upgrade. I purchased the Leatt thinking that it was top quality and would give me great protection. However on my first ride the shoulder protectors came un clipped 3 times and slipped down my arm and has continued to have the same failure on every ride. I then attended a cross country race and noticed a fella wearing the same protector but both shoulder guards were removed. The first corner he got bumped and flipped off his bike. I rode his bike out for him because his collar bone had gotten broken. Note: I have not contacted Leatt about this problem yet. Any suggestions?

Equipment that can reliably protect the upper body

I chose this equipment because I had suffered a hard blow to my shoulder when I fell down and hit my chest in agony when I stumbled.
So far I have not fallen down using it, but compared to the 4.5 I used before, Shell's protection is indeed harder and thicker, especially in the chest and abdomen area.
4.While the Handlebar 5 was flexible enough to flex the abdomen and chest when leaning on the Handlebar, this one maintains the original shape of the entire structure and feels as if it is supported by the entire surface, without any localized pressure.
The Image is such that the Protector itself keeps its shape and protects the people inside.
The interior cushion material is also designed to be appropriate for the grade, and there is no concern that the surface fabric will peel off after repeated use and washing.

If there is a problem...
The price of enhanced defense is that upper body mobility is more restricted than in other grades.
To be an inner protector, it should be massive and wearable. (Not possible depending on your physique)
The lock of the Belt on the flank that connects the front and back is stiff. (Pushing is not a common type of buckle, but a solid gold clasp made of gold, which can be pushed in with a little force after being hooked.)

Although it is the highest grade in terms of series at the moment, other grades may be better depending on the environment and riding style, so we hope you can compare them and make a good choice. View detail
