I got one at the end of the season last year. So far I like it. I got the newest version that doesn't stick up in the back so it's not as restrictive and I can get my head up. So far so good.
I had a leatt and it broke my collarbone requiring surgey. After recovery I tried on my leatt and the pain was terrible right where the brace sat on my collarbone.
I endo'd at Ram Jam a few years ago and upon landing I could feel my Leatt push into and separate my AC joint. One of the most painful experiences I've ever had.
Broke my collarbone first crash with a leatt. Not sure if i should blame the leatt or not.
I guess a good test would be to put it on and see if it hurts where the leatt sits.. will try that tonight.
I hit pretty hard on my head. Broke part of my helmet and got knocked out. So its hard to say that maybe the Leatt helped me and my neck would be messed up right now if I didnt, or maybe i woulda been fine and not have a broken collarbone now too.. idk
its a tough call. im not sure if i want to keep wearing it or not, 1 crash and 1 broken bone is not a good record so far.
I like the open neck concept of the Omega. I had the EVS and hated it. It choked the hell out of me. The EVS is good if you have a neck .
