J.J. Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 Bought one of these a few weeks back, they are very popular around these parts and come highly recommend. The banshee is only getting faster and as I'm 41 this year, with 3 kids (and a helluva expensive wife) I'm starting to feel a bit paranoid about injury and loss of income. Good:The Leatt Brace is very light and relatively small in size. The brace is fully adjustable and I found a comfortable setting within a few minutes. Split design is easy to put on and take off, even when wearing chest protectors. Does not interfere with normal head movement. Complaints: I struggled initially to close the securing clips with gloved hands, but that was mostly due to unfamiliarity. Head movement is a little restricted when trying to turn, especially when trying to look back to see if riding buddies are still behind you. Expensive. Quote

Bought mine in South Africa, about USD360 for the cheap model. My personal insurance does not cover quad biking... Quote
rubberneck Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 Oh cool, I was asking about these a while back but not too much first hand experience could be gathered. I too am feeling a lot more destructable as I get older especially since everybody i ride with is younger stronger and faster. LOL What model is that? Im seriously concidering one Quote
J.J. Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Posted July 9, 2008 I bought the MotoGPX "Club", about USD200 cheaper than the carbonfibre "Sport", the "Club" offers the same level of protection as the more expensive "Sport" Check out their online shop or website. Online shop Quote
