Omega X1 Neck Brace

Looking at the Omega X1 Neck Brace and see that the price is $150.00 was thinking about getting a brace soon and would like to know if these are any good and how dose the price look for it.

For racing that's the one I run. I paid more, so I'd say yeah, that's a good price?

Great Ill grab it today I have the Fox Racing Proframe and was reading that the brace works great with it?

The only issue I've had with it is remembering to put it on. It seems I'm never quite prepared come race time, and for some reason it doesn't always register as something I have to do. It doesn't bother me at all, I'm just not used to putting things around my neck.

I hated mine, I guess my neck wasn't long enough and I could never move my head enough to get comfortable.

Are you aware they are height adjustable?

I just got one a few weeks ago. Couldnt see dropping the coin for another Leatt since mine is pretty wrecked now, but Im still skepticle becasue of the price difference..

Havnt rode with it yet, but it feels pretty comfortable and doesnt limit my movement. It wont be until I get it on the track that I will really know how it stacks up though.

Ya I messed with it a lot never got it right so I sold it to a fellow TTer. A-Stars is what I have now, don't know it's there.

Any ideas why they're on closeout?

Leatt and Astars have better advertising campaigns.

I thought I practically stole mine and paid a few tens more than that for it. I really like it. Don't know it's there when I'm riding, unless I try to look over my shoulder. I could probably adjust it to make that easier, but might have a hair less protection. Works well with my Fox Airframe and hydration pack over it. I'm 6'4".

I read all the reviews, tests and opinions, and decided I like that it doesn't concentrate force directly on the spine or sternum. It has two things in front and in back to distribute the load and not apply it directly to the spine. Just my logic, everyone else is entitled to think differently.
