Anyone using these? I use a neck colar seems to work ok.. Debating to spend money on the berg or me, hmm..
neck braces
- Thread starter hindenburg
- Start date
collars only protect agains whiplash type injuries, where a brace protects againts crushing of the neck also. Any pressure is passed throught the helmet, into the collar and then onto your collar bones. There is an arguement against as they can break collar bones, but i know which one id rather break.

i use a leatt.
bit intrusive when standing around but dont notice it when riding.
looking at all the different ones about if your serious about getting one its seems to be an easy choice.
Leatt or Alpinestar.
all the others just seem to have jumoed on the band wagon.

I ride with a Leatt also. Neck braces are a helmet for your neck.
I notice I'm hotter while wearing the Leatt but it is totally worth it. Not that big of deal when riding but it gets cumbersome at other times. The trade-offs are totally worth it IMO.

FWIW
I know a lot of guys who have broken collar bones with the leatt, they have all switched to alpinestars.
the alpinestars has a cutout to take the load off your collarbone.
AFAIK nobody has brocken a collarbone with an alpinestars.

I was looking closely at the a stars, sb I think it was? I usually ride every wk end but not racing so I don't feel the need to push hard everywhere I go, so with this I never felt the need for a neck brace and as said use a colar. I am in the middle of "armouring" up the berg and thought mabe I should protect myself a little too 
cheers for the help!
