  |
|
Looking at getting the girls a new neck brace for next season when they step up to 90. What are people's thoughts? I'm currently leaning toward the Leatt GPX Club 2....

yes unfortunately its not cheap, even with the us being a little less expensive, my advice ius to think of the cost of not having the protection ie. years of constructive surgery, physiotherapy, the cost on a family etc etc, sorry for the downer but im a realist  |

yep I totally understand about the cost of protection. I am a nurse and have worked in ICU, so I have seen lots of injuries due to people not wearing the correct gear. If looked after properly the braces should last for a few years at least I reckon. Apart from upping to 90s next year the only equipment we need is the neck braces unless their feet grow. I've bought most of their gear a little big so it will last for at least a couple of seasons.

I have a Leatt neck brace and highly recommend them, but for kids I think the Omega brace is worth looking at. It has a lot of adjustability so you can keep a good fit as the kids grow.

I use a leatt adventure, its the cheapest leatt out there and its paid for itself over the last year, had a few occasions where I would have had a broken neck if it wasn't for the leatt i reckon.
Highly recommended, for me its as important as a helmet |

just checked them out on the Leatt Website and they do look good and are about $100 cheaper than the GPX Club 2 but dont appear to be as adjustable
