Leatt Brace
Anyone use one and which one do you use? Can big boys wear them?

I use the $395 one. It's difficult to give it a review, because once in place you never know it is there and I have not had the kind of spill where I can say it has been put to the test. I don't see why big guys can't use the standard adult size, you'd have to have a really large neck to have problems.
Get it adjusted without your chest protector. Then when you want to use both, take the Leatt apart and slip it inside the chest protector. Then but both items on together and get them settled on your shoulders, then have someone help you latch the Leatt and do up the chest strap at the back.
I needed no mods to a HRP Flak Jak to get it to work with the Leatt.

they are worth the money my supervisors kid rides at a national level he had a massive accident mid last yr ,
his head compressed that much the brace broke his collar bone , still broke 4 vertibra and a fair few other knocks was in traction for a month
,he is up and walking now havent talked to them for a while but i belive he is riding again,
but they were told by doctors if he didnt have the brace on he would be a quad or dead!!
i was told at the dealers that the only difference in the club and sport brace is weight 80grms !!
