The
Leatt-Brace™ is an injection molded glass reinforced nylon or carbon fiber and Kevlar neck
brace system designed by medical professionals and karting enthusiasts to help prevent: Hyperflexion: extreme forward head movement Hyperextension: extreme rearward head movement Lateral Hyperflexion... all of the above potential injuries. The design rationale behind the
Leatt-Brace™ is to bring the head to a controlled stop. This is achieved by providing a padded rigid structure that acts as an alternate load path for neck forces. Helmet impacts otherwise transmitted from the helmet to skull... and then to the neck are re-directed from the helmet to the
brace to other body structures in a safe way. The design of the
Leatt-Brace™ prevents the helmet/head from projecting over the
brace and therefore prevents a fulcrum action, which has been documented in literature pertaining to the use of collar devices... . The
Leatt-Brace™ MOTO KART works with most types of body armor and chest protectors. The
Leatt-Brace™ MOTO KART is compatible with all motorcycle helmet types and our design allows riders an adequate range of movement. The
Leatt-Brace™ MOTO KART is designed for use on all motorcycles and ATVs
