Anyone Using The Leatt Brace?

Anyone using one of these Leatt Moto-R head/neck restraints? It looks like a better alternative to the Hans device offering better mobility.

i've stared at that picture for 5 minutes and for the life of me cannot figure out how it goes on.

Question: Does that meet NASA or SCCA standards?

I use a HANS Sport with the sliding tethers and it works fine....the only issue I have with it is when backing up in the pits......you need someone help you backup or don't tighten your belts till you get out of your pit/paddock parking space

Looks like a medical device

We call it the "toilet seat" on Rennlist.

Hans here as well, no issue's with movement....just don't like the price. But as for what you have there, no way would I wear it. It's hard enough to get out of the car now.

toilet seat, lol!

I think the starting price for the injection molded one is only $395. I'd like a closer look at one. It's SFI 3.8 approved or some sh*t like that. It's a very effective design. Check the link for specific info.

i checked the link but wasn't impressed by what i read. maybe i just skimmed to much. seemed like they were just quoting medical terminology 101. not giving a lot of hard information, examples, or why. any pictures of this on someone in a car or even standing?

Hans pricing has come down quite a bit now that they have some competition. They just released a "budget friendly" version not to long ago.

I don't have either, I can't say boooo, but I am however exploring options.

There were some vids on the site that were pretty informative.
