Neck braces with a backpack?

Recommended Posts

Anyone wearing a neck brace (Leatt, EVS, Atlas...) and using a backpack? Just wondering if it's possible and if it's reasonably comfortable?

The above shows my pack sagging low because the shoulder straps are not cinched up, but the pack rides without issue over the tail of the Leatt Collar.

I am wearing the Leatt Adventure pressure suite which has cut-outs at the front and back for the collar. Comfortable and full range of motion. I wear a synthetic tee under.

We can get together some time if you want to try it on with the collar. P.S. I wash the gear all the time. :-0

Not the greatest pictures, but what I could find. Never had any sort of comfort issues, for the most part I forget it's there.

Thanks Bagstr. I bought a new helmet over the weekend. Bought a 6D for a couple of reasons. The main reason was for the suspension system to reduce force transmitted to the head\neck but the other is that the new Shoei VFX helmet (my other preferred choice) has a large protrusion at the back that some people find interferes with the Leatt brace. Keeping all my options open. Now I just need to get healed up so I can ride again.
