The Leatt Neck Brace – Chris Leatt

May 28, 2019

This week I’m joined by the founder and inventor of the Leatt Brace, Chris Leatt. We chat about his motivations for designing the brace in the first place, what it took to get it to market, how it’s tested, as well as discussing the concerns that some people have around the brace causing other injuries in a crash. We also chat about helmet technology and where that is headed. This is a really interesting look into a very scientific product, that is designed with protection of life at it’s core.

If you’re interested to find out more, then check out what they have to offer at leatt.com. You can also find details of the studies mentioned in the episode here on the Leatt Lab page. There is also some really interesting info on the lab and the testing on that same page.
