Leatt MRX Pro Neck Brace
You have spent a lot of money on your toy of choice whether it is a race car, truck, pre-runner, sand rail, UTV, or other go fast while in a seat machine. Protecting your neck and your life hopefully is as important to you as your vehicle! After many years of research and development, Leatt’s successful MRX Pro brace has been re-engineered again to offer even more enhanced comfort and the best level of protection to date.
Leatt knew that most of the current head and neck restraint systems were already pretty good and have saved drivers worldwide from countless neck injuries even saved some lives as well. But, like just about everything, there is room for improvement. Those improvements are here in the new Leatt MRX head and neck restraint system. This is the latest model of the MRX Pro, not the original that actually had a recall.
All day driver comfort was an issue of specific importance that many drivers of off road trucks, buggies, UTVs and rally drivers in particular, had expressed as an issue with other neck restraint systems; some even said it was almost unbearable! Leatt knew that the key was a flexible chassis and a thick layer of fire retardant Nomex® padding between the driver's body, neck, and the device to significantly enhance comfort. They were right, and they took it a step further with new collarbone cut outs and enabling the chassis to molds itself better to more body shapes. The flexibility of the latest MRX Pro neck brace also results in optimal head control by bringing the head and tether angle to an ideal orientation and maximum energy uptake. This also results in decreased neck forces during an entire crash sequence or serious impacts. The new padding adds more than just comfort; the latest padding also reduces helmet to device impact spikes to give the driver a softer hit feel of helmet to brace contact. Even further decreasing impact spikes, Leatt added rubber bumpers on the inside of rear collar.
That took care of a lot of the comfort concerns but one common complaint is the seat belt to harness interference. Leatt solved that by containing the harness straps into unique channels which achieved both the highest safety and comfort goals. This ingenious solution solved another problem that hinders many competitors braces caused by neck braces sliding out from under the shoulder harness. In side and front angle impacts as well as normal off road racing and even just enthusiast driving / playing, some head and neck restraint devices will slide out from under the shoulder harness straps. At that point the harness straps are not only able to cause tissue damage to the soft parts of the neck but since these straps are no longer being properly placed on the neck restraint device for the whole crash or impact sequence the effectiveness is severely limited. The latest Leatt containment channels and high belt traction surfaces help prevent that and maintain protection and comfort under the most severe use.
The MRX Pro also features industry leading, ultra strong Kevlar® tethers that have an elongation of only 2-4%. Having such limited elongation helps the device take up forces earlier and offers superior protection when compared to the 7-18% elongation of other devices with tethers made of inferior materials. The MRX Pro has far surpassed testing parameters for neck tension, neck compression, and NIJ... all as specified by SFI.
