    Sorry didnt answer your question

    Pros

    No broken neck
    Able to walk
    Can still feel your dick

    Cons

    None

    Cost, but against the pro’s :blush:

    I dont think it matters how hard you go you can still fall of.

    All the above is my opinion only

    Thanks TB,the more im getting into riding i feel the need for more protection.I dont know if its because im starting to ride out of my comfort zone or im getting soft in my old age :)

    I’ve had about 5 rides with mine and the second of those I wasn’t comfortable because I didn’t get it set right before starting. I’ve since cut into my alpine star suit a little more and I unstitched my jersey at the neck so I can pull it down over the brace. I’ve also bought a bit of velcro so the jersey is a bit neater but it works great.

    As the others have said, after a bit of riding you forget its there but try and remember if you need to duck under a branch.

    I bought mine from the states because the savings were too great to ignore. If you’d like some help with that let me know because the aussie dollar would mean a club leatt could be landed for about $500 I’d guess.

    Do you really need to spend $6/700 or is there a cheaper alternative?

    EVS make a good brace, I got one for Mick from the states that he doesnt wear all the time for whatever reason which I find funny now days because he said after his Hillend crash he was only saved because he was wearing it :huh:

    Sutto’s have them and Mal would do you a deal if you ring hin on (02) 47379566 and tell I sent you and your a Old Bull

    They do all different colours for around $250 somewhere I think
