I dont know if I would use it on the average dualsport ride (would depend on comfort), but on the DD there is times you are 60+ mph over the sand. I would rather wear a brace now than a halo later!

Good info Jim. I have had back surgery already, dont need any more impact directed to it. Do you wear an ogio vest with the Omega. It seems to be a little bigger that the Leatt.

As you can see, the Ogio slides under the Omega's brace area. (It would on my right except the Spot was blocking it). While the Ogio is empty (except for Spot), you can see that it fit comfortably with the Omega. I have worn the Omega with Acerbis Koerta body armor, and while you feel like the Terminator, it fits well with the Acerbis. I haven't worn the Omega, Ogio and Acerbis at one time, but I think it would work, if not bulky. I would wear both on a DS ride easily, but I also like to wear my armor. Like I said, haven't done all three, but that is mostly due to bulkiness and heat. Like the old song, two outa three aint bad.
I have the Ogio straps as tight as they will go to show how it would fit up under the Omega. I actually would wear it with the Ogio straps a little more loose. Very comfortable.
Supposedly Omega just announced/released a new brace, but I haven't followed it enough to really know what is going on. There are other braces on the market, and I looked at them all. I like how the Omega wore the best, and I also like the theory of force distribution.

I was a little concerned about all the lumbar fractures with impacts and the Leatt, but what really sold me on the Omega is the fit, comfort and adjustability of it. Just one man's opinion.

Glad to hear you got the X1. I would be very interested in your review when you get it. The regular Omega does fit a little tight, but I've also put on about 50 lbs!! While it is tight on the skin, when I ride, I really don't notice it at all. It isn't like choke you tight, rather you just feel it on your skin.
Look forward to your review!

Now I will have to go for a ride and give it the real world test.
I am shooting to have the nuetech tubliss set up for this weekend. Will get back with both reviews.
