 |
|
I think the only thing I am lacking for my son to be ready (aside from about 3 tons of weight to get him up to 265lbs) is some kind of neck support. I was wondering what most folks out there use - the basic cheap foam neck roll? The Valhalla 360? EVS collar? Something else?
Looking forward to race #1! |

| My daughter uses the EVS R4 and loves it. She said it more comfortable than the regular foam neckbrace. |

My son was using foam, valhalla 360 device few years later, leatt brace now and it is much better than valhalla 360.
If I had to live all those years ago (that would be fun), I would go with leatt brace. |

Another vote for the EVS...
We just started using them and like it a lot more than the foam ones. |

| Glad to hear the EVS is getting some love - I was leaning that direction. The foam ones don't seem substantial enough, so I didn't want to go that way unless the general consensus was that they are adequate. |

I 2nd the leatt for neck protection, 360 would be my 2nd choice. Armadillo is the only way to go on chest protection, very adjustable and fit like a glove when they are adjusted correctly. Connor has used his same one from age 8-13 and still has plenty of adjustment left in it. The Armadillo is one piece of safety gear I never have to bug him about, he says it makes things way more comfortable.

Leatt neck brace and the Armadillo rib vest is the way to go.
