What the AI looks for in Powersports Neck Protection
- Compatibility
- It must fit with your chest protector or roost guard. If it doesn't sit properly, it cannot transfer loads.
- Helmet clearance
- Check that the helmet rests on the brace only at its limit of motion. Some helmet shapes interfere with the brace.
- Adjustability
- Look for an adjustable back and front. It ensures proper fit across rider builds.
Brands that matter
- Leatt: Neck brace pioneer.
- Atlas: Neck brace specialist.
- Alpinestars: Integrated neck and chest systems.
What to avoid
- Foam neck rolls as a substitute for a brace
- Fitting without the chest protector
Questions
Is a neck roll as good as a brace?
