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. Pros: Lightweight (only 580 grams), Flexible, Adjustable, Does not sit directly on the spine or sternum. 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. Karason S, et al. (2014). Evaluation of clinical efficacy and safety of cervical trauma collars: differences in immobilization, effect on jugular venous pressure and patient comfort. DOI: The shell itself is made of reinforced nylon molded into an aerodynamic design which is sturdy and reliable. Underneath the nylon is a hi-tensile closed cell PU core which helps absorb the energy from an impact as well as distributes the forces across the body naturally.

We bear both a legal and a moral obligation to respond in a measured and pragmatic way. There is a distinct likelihood that comprehensive evaluations will transpire at the international level, and the EIHA is committed to taking an active and constructive role in this process."

From the age of 18 it becomes non-mandatory, same as protective visors to the face, you'll find there are very few players who do wear them after the age of 18," Myers told BBC Radio Wales Sport. Cons: Heavier than other options, Not the best ventilation, Not the most natural feeling brace out thereThe best part about this brace is that EVS took a completely different approach when designing their brace compared to the other companies. In doing so they have created an efficient design at an affordable price. We like the minimalistic design and freedom of movement that you get with this brace. It is similar to the Atlas in that sense. Apart from head injury assessments, players will only be allowed one five-minute window to receive on-field treatment, after which they would be required to leave the field for any further treatment, meaning batters would be required to retire hurt or bowlers unable to complete their over.

I'm sure the more I wear them, the more I practice with them, my heart rate will come down and everything will be OK." Smith, who was concussed after being hit by a bouncer from England bowler Jofra Archer in a Test match at Lord's in 2019, has previously said they made him feel "claustrophobic". external-linkDespite 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. 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.

Regardless of that I will start wearing one when mine arrives, and I will deal with whatever inhibited movements I have - I don't think it's going to be a great deal. 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. Of course we wish Adam was still here and playing, and one of the things we can do to honour Adam is to make sure this never happens again.
