The Leatt 3.5 Neck Brace is an excellent choice for those seeking affordable, lightweight, and stylish protective gear. It features an adjustable rear thoracic strut designed to reduce and transfer forces during accidents away from the neck's fragile bones and towards the body's strong muscles. Independently lab and rider tested, it has proven to significantly reduce neck forces and injuries, with up to an 89% reduction in critical cervical spine injuries and up to 45% lower likelihood of collarbone injuries. The polymer matrix platform ensures efficient reduction in neck forces, while the collarbone cut-out keeps the helmet rim away from vulnerable bones. The brace's optimal helmet rim striking platform allows freedom of movement, and the CoreFlex split rear folding thoracic strut adapts to natural body movements for comfort and breaks away under excessive pressure. A sculptured split front provides an improved fit and the air flow ribbed body padding allows adequate ventilation.
