Neck Braces
« on: March 08, 2008, 04:52:27 pm »
I need to purchase a neck brace but confused by choices available.

Must be affordable which eliminates the $999 stuff.

What are members using and how do you rate them?

Hi expat , EVS have a neck brace due 1st week in June , retail price in NZ will be $249.00 - so no need to be ripped any longer

EVS has never made a bad product , recognised as the market leader in protective gear so their neck brace has been developed properly, can you really look at a Leatt brace & see how they charge soo much for it ??? , we are just getting rippped off , mark my words , Leatt will drop their price as soon as the EVS or the Alpine star brace hits the market ,

I don't know whether the price would come down much at all. A pair of CTI knee braces still cost $1400, dearer than the first set i bought 10 years ago and they used to have the market sewn up too.

Actually a standard Leatt brace is about $699 which is pretty reasonable considering 1 good knee brace is about the same price and the consequences of breaking a neck compared to a knee can be a whole lot worse. I wear CTI knee braces and am about to buy a Leatt kneck brace cos i've already had 2 knee reconstructions and any extra protection for my neck is well worth it.

'31, did your knee injuries come about before or after the CTi braces?

1 injury was in '83 before knee braces and the other was in '99 when i should've had knee braces but didn't think it was important. Not saying that it would've definately stopped the injury but i've since given them a few good tweaks with braces on and suffered no real injury.

I think I'd feel like a real dick if I had to spend $40,000.00 renovating my house for the chair and have my missus change my colostomy bags every couple of hours because I thought I'd wait for the price of something to go down......
Apparantly racing motorcycles is dangerous. I know this because they tell me every meeting before we all go out and T-bone each other...

'31, thanks for the info; I was hoping you'd say PRE braces!
I've recently paid the big bucks for the CTi braces and they certainly give a sense of security.
My knees have had five ops over the years with two being re-constructions - so I easily justify the huge price tag.

I have the leatte brace and love it.. good quality, dont know i am wearing it whilst tearing it up.. I was strapped for cash a little when buying it..
 I figured if i was lying in a hospital bed with a doctor telling me i could never walk again or kick the footy with my kids etc.. i would pay $600,000 at that moment instead of pissin and moaning about $650!
I have seen  Bronte Holland, a good guy and awsome mx/sx talent loose his ability to walk again to a simple crash.. its all it takes..  If he had the brace on... well ya never know do ya!  go get one!
 My kids will never ride without one.
