Leatt DBX Comp Neck Brace

The DBX Comp is based on the original Leatt-Brace® GPX Club, the one that made our name.
The DBX Comp is fully adjustable to suit most individual rider needs.

The Leatt-Brace® neck brace is a revolutionary system designed to help protect
a rider against various forces on the neck during impact, namely the over-bending
of the head and neck in a forward, backward and sideways direction by employing
patented Alternative Load Path Technology™. This technology helps disperse impact
forces away from critical areas onto less vulnerable areas of the body and is
pivotal to the design of the Leatt-Brace®.

Other key features:

• The DBX Comp features a low-profile shape designed specifically
 to meet the specific range-of-motion needs of cyclists.

• The brace is constructed from glass-injected Nylon, whereby
microscopic glass beads are infused into the plastic to increase
its bond-strength. This makes for a controlled, stronger brace,
without compromising the wearer’s safety.

• Certain parts of the brace are constructed from carbon-fiber
 that is reinforced with Kevlar®. This helps prevent the parts
 from shattering and sharp edges to protrude.

• At the back of the brace, fitting firmly on the muscles surrounding
the spine, sits an engineered thoracic member that keeps the brace
in position during an impact. This strut is designed to snap off at
a certain force (roughly, one third of the force it takes to injure the spine).

• The rear-upper support acts as a crumple-zone, giving way under a severe load.

• A unique cut-out section ensures the brace and helmet helps avoid
contact with the collarbone.

• Rounding off the construction of the brace is shock-absorbing
Bio-foam. Biomechanically designed to help cushion the chin and
contain the brace material in an accident, Bio-foam is also fully
replaceable and machine-washable.

• The brace features two red-coloured clips that identifies
emergency openings to paramedics.
