Motocross02 Posted March 27, 2010 I'm looking to get either a Leatt brace club neckbrace or alpinestars bionic neck support SB. I can't decide which one is better, any suggestion on the two?👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kylem800 Posted March 28, 2010 Try them both on, see which one is more comfortable. Both are good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whiplash433 Posted March 28, 2010 It all depends on you. If you have a short neck go with the astars because the tables are lower. if you have a longer neck go with the leatt because the tables are higher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
txmxer Posted March 28, 2010 There are many many threads on this matter, try searching up some old threads for some good info. Personally, I have no experience with the alpinestar brace. I wear the leatt adventure (the cheapest leatt) I love it! Awesome brace and with the right pins in (and I run the straps around my chest) it feels amazing and I dont even remember that im wearing it. So what im saying is you wont be sorry getting a leatt from my point of view, but I am in no way stearing you clear of the alpinestar brace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
never mind Posted March 28, 2010 I've purchased the Omega X1 Brace. Nice and comfy, newer tech with some well thought out advantages over the others, IMHO! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djuhnk Posted March 28, 2010 i have a leatt adventure and have a long neck. it seems to work pretty good for me the only time i notice it is when im walking around and want to look down.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theuberacer Posted March 28, 2010 I have the Leatt Club, bought it before the Astars SB came out. If I were to buy again now, I'd probably go with the SB. Seems like its less likely to cause a collarbone or back injury than the Leatt, while still protecting the neck sufficiently... But, I haven't had any trouble with my Leatt, the fit is great, and it's very comfortable. Also, if you decide to go the Leatt route, I'd go with the Club, I have a buddy with the adventure and he's always complaining about how it's hard to look up cause the back of his helmet hits the brace too soon. But I hear it also depends on the helmet you use... and it depends on the length of your neck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Motocross02 Posted March 28, 2010 is it true that leatt is getting sued for causing thoracic spine fractures though? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
