Despite massive technological advances in passive safety, the neck was the one part of the body that remained unprotected. Until now.

The Leatt-Brace® is a truly revolutionary safety system, and the result of years of research and development. It all started in 2002, with Dr. Chris Leatt working together with a team of physicians, surgeons and biomedical engineers. In 2006, further collaboration began with BMW, KTM, the ‘Wings for Life’ foundation and Munich University.

Patented Alternative Load Path TechnologyTM helps reduces forces on the spine, and disperses energy away from critical areas, during impact. This principle is pivotal to the Leatt-Brace® design, and a world first.

A unique cut out-section ensures the brace and helmet have no contact with the collarbone.

Our braces are built around you

• Patented Alternative Load Path TechnologyTM helps reduces forces on the spine, and disperses energy away from critical areas, during impact. This principle is pivotal to the Leatt-Brace® design, and a world first.
• Padding is biomechanically designed to cushion the chin.
• The thoracic member is engineered to keep the brace in position, so it doesn’t tilt forward or backwards during an impact.
• The rear-upper support acts as a ‘crumple-zone’, giving way under a severe load.
• CE certifi ed: Personal Protective Equipment directive 89/686/EEC
• Two red-colored release clips identify emergency openings to paramedics.
• Universal bolt heads require a single adjustment wrench, and are also compatible with multi-tools.

• The Leatt-Brace® is made using only high quality materials like Kevlar®, Carbon, fiberglass reinforced plastic, and shock-absorbing Biofoam. (Biofoam is also fully replaceable and machine-washable.)
• Maximum adjustability is achieved through six independent adjustment points.
• Every product has been chemically tested and certified, so it’s free of lead or other harmful additives.
• Our braces are adaptable for use with body armor and chest protectors.

The Leatt-Brace® includes an engineered fracture point in the Thoracic strut. In an emergency, this replacable part is designed to snap.

At the Leatt® Lab, there’s no room for error. Not only do we put our braces through exhaustive and continuous testing, we also check out our imitators. So far, they’re a very distant second.

The lab is home to biomedical engineers and industrial designers, who work in collaboration with teams from the University of Munich, BMW, KTM and ‘Wings for Life’. At the heart of the operation is Dr. Chris Leatt himself.

In fact, the only dummy you’ll fi nd here is the crash test variety. It’s put through hundreds of tests a week simulating different types of impact scenarios.

We also inspect every Leatt-Brace® returned to us after an impact. If it’s crumpled, snapped or fractured then we know it’s done its job. That’s because our products are designed to absorb and disperse the force that would otherwise be transferred to the rider. Broken braces are always better than broken people.
