Leatt-Brace Neck Braces

Description

The Leatt® ADVenture™ is an injection molded, glass reinforced nylon, neck brace system, designed by medical professionals and motorcycle enthusiasts to help prevent the following extreme movements:

• Head - forward, rearward, sideways
• HyperFlexion
• HyperExtension
• Lateral HyperFlexion
• Spinal column compression
• Axial loading, due to the effect of force on the helmet
• Head/helmet, rearward on the neck
• Posterior HyperTranslation

There is currently no other neck protection system available for cyclists that can effectively help prevent all of the above potential injuries. The design rationale behind the Leatt-Brace(R) is to bring the head to a controlled stop. This is achieved by providing a padded rigid structure that acts as an alternate load path for neck forces. Helmet impacts otherwise transmitted from the helmet to skull and then to the neck are re-directed from the helmet to the brace to other body structures in a safe way.

The design of the Leatt® ADVenture™ prevents the helmet/head from projecting over the brace and therefore prevents a fulcrum action, which has been documented in literature pertaining to the use of collar devices. The Leatt® ADVenture™ works with most types of body armour and chest protectors. Over long distances, the Leatt® ADVenture™ will also offer some relief from neck fatigue. The Chest-Strap (for upright riding position) included with the Leatt® ADVenture™ is designed for the rider who may experience big air and flat-out whoop situations (motocross). Note: Not all riders will find the Chest-Strap necessary.

The Leatt® ADVenture™ is compatible with all motorcycle helmet types and our design allows riders an adequate range of movement. The Leatt® ADVentureTM is designed for use on all motorcycles and ATVs for competition use, recreational riding and daily commuting. Leatt-brace® has been tested by BMW Munich, KTM Works Riders, the SABS (South African Bureau of Standards). It is also endorsed by MSA (Motorsport South Africa).

The Leatt® ADVenture™ is available in following two sizes.

• Small and Medium . To determine the correct size of brace for your body, please use the following rough fitment guide:
• Small: 4 - 16 years old (thin build)
• Medium: 16 years + (average to bigger build)
