Mongooser Posted February 16, 2017 Author Posted February 16, 2017 No. And IMO they SHOULD NOT be mandated. Until there is actual scientific evidence that they work. A Bike crash is such a random event that proving that the existence of a neck brace is the cause of you not being in a chair is almost impossible.A neckbrace is cheaper than medical bills might as well wear one, I don't really care to ride with or without it,I've never hurt my neck riding, moms the one who's saying I need one lol

Duane_Bosch Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Skollie - remember, this is coming from Omega Man. As in the dude who used to be behind the Omega neck brace (correct me if I'm wrong, D)Karl and I used to bring them in. Grant Nelson (ex Leatt) designed the Omega as far as I know. I'm also a Leatt shareholder so I have an interest in the success of the company. I stopped using a Leatt coz it restricted my vision. I stopped using an Omega coz it made an irritating clicking noise when my helmet touched it.
