Premium Protection for Young Riders

The Leatt Neck Brace 5.5 Junior offers premium protection and ultimate adjustability for young enthusiasts of personal electric vehicles (PEVs). Designed with the same meticulous care and advanced technology as the adult version, this neck brace is specifically tailored to fit smaller riders. If you're a parent or guardian ensuring that your child is protected while enjoying high-speed rides on electric scooters, unicycles, or bikes, the 5.5 Junior is the equipment you need.

Despite its smaller size, this brace delivers extensive safety features designed to mitigate neck forces during accidents. By transferring the impact forces into the stronger muscles of the shoulders and torso, it protects the delicate bones of the neck. With this innovative design, you can push the limits with the confidence that you're safeguarded by one of the best protective gears available.

Safety of Neck Braces

Understanding the importance of protection is crucial, especially when speeds exceed 50 km/h. "We all want to have lots of fun, but after that, get safe home with our families," Max Blinker said. Independent research backs up these sentiments, revealing that neck braces significantly reduce the risk of severe injuries. According to the Great Lakes EMS Action Sports Study, wearing neck braces results in an 86% reduction in critical cervical spine injuries and an 82% reduction in non-critical cervical spine injuries. This impressive data is drawn from a decade of real-world experience, covering over 9430 recorded accidents. Additionally, the risk of clavicle fractures is reduced by 18%, proving that myths about neck braces causing more harm are just that—myths.

For PEV riders, these statistics are even more compelling. Around 70% of serious injuries in PEV accidents occur in riders who do not wear sufficient protective gear. Wearing a neck brace ensures that you can continue enjoying your thrilling rides while being well-protected against unexpected accidents.

Innovative Design for Advanced Protection

The Leatt Neck Brace 5.5 Junior stands out with several cutting-edge design features. The collarbone cut-out keeps the helmet rim away from the clavicles, reducing the likelihood of fractures. The optimal helmet rim striking platform is engineered to redistribute neck forces effectively, granting the helmet the freedom to move as needed. The CoreFlex split rear folding thoracic strut is another standout feature, designed to work with the body's natural movements. It will break away before applying excessive pressure to the back, thereby ensuring balanced protection.

Moreover, the composite matrix platform successfully minimizes neck forces, while the sculptured split front enhances comfort and fit. Sliding front and rear SureFit adjusters provide three-way adjustability for a perfect fit. The brace also comes with a low-profile push-button open/closure system for easy access and an emergency release mechanism for quick removal.

Ultimate Comfort for Young Riders

Comfort is critical, especially for young riders who may wear their protective gear for extended periods. The Leatt Neck Brace 5.5 Junior doesn't compromise on comfort. It features injected, durable, and easy-to-clean foam padding that ensures season-after-season use. The SureFit adjusters offer three-way adjustability, providing a tailored fit that makes it as though the brace was custom-made. Your child can ride longer and more comfortably, all while staying protected.

Who Should Use This Neck Brace?

The Leatt Neck Brace 5.5 Junior is expertly crafted for young PEV riders who engage in high-speed activities and need reliable neck protection. Parents who seek peace of mind while their children enjoy the thrill of electric scooters, bikes, or unicycles will find this neck brace an invaluable addition to their safety gear. The brace is CE tested and certified as Personal Protective Equipment 89/686/EEC, ensuring its adherence to the highest safety standards.
