Anyone check this out? New neck brace on the horizon.

I'm confused, should I wear a neck brace or not? What's everyone's opinion on them as a whole?

If you look back to the late 70's or early 80's there was a similar debate over Full Face Helmets breaking
people necks....but when was the last time you saw someone racing open face?

I always liked Full Face & seeing a guy missing front teeth at Hi-Point in 1979 reinforced that belief.

The neck braces are rather new on the market & going to evolve over time for the better much the same way
any product does.

My racing is non-existent these days but my daughter & I both have the EVS & like the additional head support
it provides. When not wearing it I felt naked & noticed an increased in what my neck took during normal riding.

My thoughts have always been to use as much protection as possible.
 
kinda interesting

Interesting. I wonder how the other neck braces compare to that one when tested side by side.
 
Don't respond to this of you're offended:

Nexis does what ? Shows testing and vows to show results? (hooray that's all I've wanted this whole neck brace argument)

Leatt does what? -——
 
Looks like neck braces are finally blowing up. This should make buying a neck brace a much easier choice if the manufactures show testing as they say they will.

Also saw another one in another forum called the MR Brace (from Brazil), looks like a Leatt.

If one starts it should mean they will all have to but lets wait and see!!!!
 
Nexis looks like a fancier version of my omega x1 brace. I have had them all except the EVS and I really like the design of the omega and I really like not busting my chin on the top of the brace when I crash like I did with the bionic.

from my understanding its the same designer/engineers. the italians that were in on the deal ran outa money or something. i was told something like this, but they didnt touch on it completely.
the nexis people say they are trying to design a neck brace that wouldnt cause any more harm than if you werent wearing one at all.
