LEATT

I've heard conversation coming out of animal pens that is more intelligent than what is going on in here.

i still race with the very first leatt-brace that came out in 2007, crashed some times really bad, one time had a crash where someone jumped on my had.. i never broke anything in my life and i think that leatt definitely saves your life.

I wear a leatt. I think that it has helped in a few crashes, but in other's, it did nothing. I haven't had the brace make contact with my collar bone, so I think i'm fine with the leatt. I heard the new Atlas brace is really comfy though! It's also designed by Brady Sheren, who is a local for me!

I broke my collarbone one time with my leatt, but still wearing it , it was a bad crash and this year i already had some bad crashes. Wearing nothing rides better but i can't do that, doesn't feel very safe.

When I crashed 5 weeks ago, broke my shoulder blade clean in 2, my leatt saved my neck from being broke. Not the first time it's saved me!

It feels very weird at the track because i am one of the few people who does not wear one around here. They all seem to look at me funny like im crazy or something...

Steep mountain bike tracks are the only places where leatts suffer. You just cant get your head back enough to see where you're going :?

I spent about 3 hrs trying to make my leatt fit how I wanted it then I put on an astar and it was just perfect.

I may be wrong and I know you guys will correct me if I am, but I thought the leatt was supposed to break your collarbone in a wreck rather than your neck. Broken Collarbone > Broken Neck.

No if tou buy the right leatt (Small, Medium or Large) and make it fit good by adjusting it it won't break your collarbone, I never had problems with it and I did not bother

What's the difference between all the Leatt Braces? I went on the site and there's 7 to choose from.
