Leatt 5.5 Body Armor or other recs?

Discussion

Looking for some protection jackets (or sets). The Leatt stuff looks quite good, but they dont have shoulder protection with Level 2 cert. Something I should worry about?
Is D3O stuff generally better? Things like the Fox Baseframe Pro look like it offers less protection but people swear on D3O stuff.

I‘m a pussy when it comes to injuries, I‘ve taken a couple of bad hits in my life and spent weeks in hospitals and I really plan on not doing that again.
