Neck Protector Stab Scratch Anti-Cut Cut-Resistant Protective Neck

Product Information

The most obvious difference between the braces is the makeup and weight. Since the GPX 5.5 is a more budget friendly option, Leatt chose to construct it out of fiberglass reinforced polyamide which in layman’s terms, is plastic.

The foam is unique in that it hardens when subjected to impact. This helps absorb energy from a crash and spread it evenly around the body. The hard shell helps against puncture wounds which is a must for any woods or trail rider. The nice thing about this chest protector is that it comes in three sizes (small/medium, large/extra-large, and extra-extra-large) which are all very adjustable. Cons: It does not fit well with some chest protectors, It can also bounce around if you do not use the included straps for it.

The best part about this brace is that EVS took a completely different approach when designing their brace compared to the other companies.

The GPX 6.5 Carbon is also extremely adjustable. This makes it quite easy when choosing a size because there is only two sizes to choose from. Small/medium, and large/extra-large. To keep the brace secure it comes with a clear chest strap. Some riders like the strap where others do not. It all boils down to personal preference. Despite the material make up, the brace comes in at 735 grams (1.6 pounds). This is the heaviest carbon brace on our list. Even so we would still consider it to be quite lightweight. The extra weight on it is no doubt a result of the extra material used which can be seen as a plus when you take into account the comfort of the brace. Similarly to Leatt, Alpinestars made their brace on the more rigid side of things. This is so it sits securely and is able to transfer dangerous forces in an instant. Avoid lifting or carrying anything heavy. Also avoid strenuous activity, like running, or other high-impact movement.
