I thought I would start a thread on this as I have not seen any one give any input on the brace. I have about 40 hours riding time on my brace. It is a no issue wearing it when riding. A small amout of restiction looking down by bending your head. you learn to bend your torso instead. Do they work ? I will not know unless I crash and do a head plant. Which by the way I am not willing to do for the sake of this Forum . I do know that the brace is a great psychological tool when I am wearing it. I am huge proponent of maximun safety gear. The unit is spendy 395$ and I am sure many will not want invest that much in a piece of gear. But if you are contemplating buying one they are easy to use and comfortable to ride with. We are waiting for the EVS to hiy the market and but a couple of those for the kids as they sre way less $
some people have broken their cavicle isntead of their neck when they crashed wearing the leatt, i guess it worked by preventing the neck from breakin, some leatts had defect and some parts were breaking but i read they had fixed the problem

I just do not want to have some one changing my diapers or breathing thru a ventilator tube. No guarantees on any thing you just minimize your risk. Hey Im not that far from some changing my diapers anyway but no need to rush it. FR.
I tried a friends HANS for racing dragsters and I couldnt even feel it when I was in the car. I imagine the leatt are pretty similiar

bikes are fu*king scary in the air if you arent used to them (me). plus controlling that front end is essential. little miscalculation your over the bars.
I've given some thought to wearing 1 during the up-comming Four-Stroke race's.
