Description
The Leatt 5.5 Neck Brace is engineered specifically for motorcycle riders seeking cutting-edge protection against high-impact collisions. Backed by an independent Moto motorcycle study from Action Sports EMS, this brace has demonstrated up to an 89% reduction in critical cervical spine injuries when worn during crashes—a stark contrast to its absence increasing collarbone injury risks by 45%. Designed with both safety and comfort in mind, it’s ideal for motocross enthusiasts, off-road adventurers, and racers who demand reliable defense without sacrificing mobility or ease of use.
Safety Innovations:
The brace’s composite matrix platform efficiently absorbs and redistributes impact forces away from your neck’s delicate bones during accidents. Its strategically placed collarbone cut-out ensures your helmet stays clear of vulnerable areas during strikes, minimizing direct trauma to your clavicle region. A low-profile emergency release mechanism allows quick removal in critical moments while maintaining secure retention during normal riding conditions.
Comfort & Mobility:
The CoreFlex split rear design adapts seamlessly to your body’s natural movements during dynamic riding scenarios like jumps or tight turns. This innovative feature also breaks away before applying excessive pressure to your thoracic spine if sudden force occurs from behind. The sculptured split front contour enhances comfort against your chest while maintaining structural integrity under stress.
Custom Fit & Practicality:
Three-way adjustability via sliding SureFit straps ensures a snug fit tailored to your physique—critical for maintaining protection during prolonged sessions on or off the track. Lightweight at just 790g (1.74lbs), it’s built with durable foam padding that’s easy to clean after muddy trails or intense races. CE-certified compliance ensures adherence to rigorous European safety standards (89/686/EEC).
