Leatt 4.5 Medical Grade Motocross Neck Protector

The Leatt 4.5 Neck Brace: Balancing Protection & Comfort for Every Ride
When it comes to mountain biking or motocross safety gear, your neck deserves more than just basic protection. The Leatt 4.5 Neck Brace combines advanced engineering with ergonomic design to shield you from critical injuries while staying discreet under your gear. Engineered for riders seeking mid-range adjustability between Leatt’s popular 3.5 and 5.5 models, this brace uses a lightweight composite matrix platform—so strong yet so comfortable you’ll forget it’s there—until you need it most during an impact.

Why Choose the Leatt 4.5?
Independent testing by Action Sports EMS confirms its effectiveness: riders wearing this brace experience up to 89% fewer cervical spine injuries compared to those without one, while collarbone injuries are 45% more likely without neck protection altogether. Its unique collarbone cut-out keeps your helmet safely away from fragile neck bones during crashes, redistributing force through an optimal striking platform that allows natural helmet movement without restricting your ride experience.

The CoreFlex split rear strut adds another layer of innovation—flexing with your body’s motions for all-day comfort while breaking away under extreme pressure to prevent overloading your back during impact. Adjustable rear straps ensure a secure fit across sizes (S/M-L/XL-XXL), paired with sculpted front padding that molds seamlessly to your body shape without bulkiness or discomfort even during prolonged use on trails or tracks.

Key Features:
– Composite Matrix Platform: Lightweight yet durable construction reduces neck forces efficiently
– 2-Way Thoracic Adjustability: Customizable fit bridging entry-level (3.5) and premium (5.5) models
– CE Certified Safety: Meets EU PPE Regulation (2016/425) standards
– Eco-Conscious Packaging: Plastic-free recyclable materials included
– Low Profile Design: Invisible under jerseys while providing critical injury prevention
