THE GOOD AND THE BAD?
This is my opinion (i don't care what others think. Use a neck brace or don't use one, i don't care):
I got the first version of the Leatt when it came out. It was horrible on me, it didn't fit at all. Then i got the chance to try the first version on the Alpinestars brace and it was slightly better. But it was still not good enough. I went probably close to 10 years without wearing a brace until 2 weeks ago.
A friend of mine crashed really, really hard on an indoor AX track. He was wearing the white version of the newer Alpinestars brace (i got to try it that day, it fitted me way better than the old braces). This was the result.
The neck brace went into 7-8 pieces but nothing happened to his neck, it was only sore. He broke 2 ribs and cracked his collarbone, not because of the brace because the track was as hard as a dirt track could ever be. If you crash on your head or shoulder on that track you will probably get hurt.
That made me get the latest Alpinestars BNS tech 2 brace. It works well with the A-1 chest protector and within one day i got used to wearing it and i barely notice it.
