Premium Protection and Ultimate Adjustability

The Leatt 5.5 neck brace exemplifies our commitment to safety and excellence. Engineered to offer paramount protection for personal electric vehicle (PEV) enthusiasts who crave speed and adrenaline, this neck brace combines professional-grade safety features with unparalleled comfort and adjustability. Whether you’re riding an electric scooter, unicycle, or bike, you can trust that the Leatt 5.5 neck brace will provide the confidence you need to push your limits safely.

Designed from reinforced polyamide for exceptional durability, this neck brace distributes forces away from the cervical spine's fragile bones, redirecting them to the stronger muscles of the body. This approach significantly reduces the risk of catastrophic injuries, making it an indispensable accessory for thrill-seekers utilizing personal electromobility.

The Importance of Safety: Proven Effectiveness of Neck Braces

Max Blinker often says, "We all want to have lots of fun, but after that, get safe home with our families." This philosophy underscores the critical importance of wearing protective gear, especially at speeds exceeding 50 km/h. Independent studies, such as those conducted by Action Sports EMS, corroborate the life-saving potential of neck braces. The Great Lakes EMS Action Sports Study showcased compelling statistics from a decade-long database of 9430 accidents, emphasizing how neck braces drastically improve rider safety.

Specifically, the use of the Leatt 5.5 neck brace led to:

• Up to an 89% reduction in critical cervical spine injuries
• An 82% decrease in non-critical cervical spine injuries
• An 18% drop in clavicle fractures

Details of Optimal Design

The Leatt 5.5 neck brace features innovative design elements that enhance both protection and comfort. The engineered collarbone cut-out ensures the helmet rim stays clear of the clavicle, reducing the risk of collarbone fractures, while the optimal helmet rim striking platform redistributes neck forces across a broader area, giving the helmet greater freedom of movement.

Moreover, the CoreFlex split rear folding thoracic strut adapts seamlessly to the body’s natural movements. This strut is designed to break away before exerting excessive pressure on the back, adding another layer of safety. Sliding front and rear SureFit adjusters provide three-way adjustability, ensuring a tailor-made fit for diverse body shapes and sizes.

Comfort and Convenience

Aside from its impressive safety features, the Leatt 5.5 neck brace prioritizes rider comfort and ease of use. The sculptured, split front design offers enhanced comfort and fit, while the low-profile push-button open/closure system facilitates quick and easy removal. In emergency situations, the neck brace’s intuitive release mechanism ensures immediate access.

The injected foam padding is not only durable but also easy to clean, making maintenance a breeze. The entire brace, including the composite matrix platform, is designed for efficient reduction in neck forces while ensuring that riders can wear it for extended periods without discomfort.
