Hello, I am wondering if anyone has recommendations for a neck brace that fits a large build. My chest measurement is 53 inches, which is above the range of the big manufactures. I have contacted customer support for each of them and they say that sometimes they will fit but it depends on your build. I don’t have anywhere around me that has neck braces in stock, so I can’t just go try them on easily.
Hopefully I can get some suggestions so I don’t have to play the guessing game and have extra money wrapped up into shipping returns back if it doesn’t fit.
thank you
There isn’t from what I’ve tried on. The only thing I haven’t tried was the Leatt 4.0? Chest protector with the built in brace.
John i'm a relatively big guy, I wear xxl shirts lol.... I'm currently wearing the Leatt 5.5 without issue. But it depends on the length of your neck if, you're the stocky no neck kind of guy i don't think it will work. but if you have a regular neck or slightly taller it will fit with no problem. The xl brace which i have runs (37" - 48") I'm a self measured 47 inches all the way around my chest. (However I'm not sure why you measure down that low, when it sits above that area). Side note, i don't use the straps it comes with. I actually use my chest protector straps to hold it down. as im rocking a rxr bullet airbag, which allows for this configuration.
another note, is that its light years better than the original one. which i have in regards to weight and mobility.
If you want i can send you the original leatt and the evs one as i have both in XL so you can test the sizing. without costing you 100s of $
The one i use can be found here at this link https://leatt.com/us/product/neck-brace-5-5?selected-color=5453
The other brace is atlas vision and alpinestar..but i have zero first hand experience with those.
Atlas vision is a good unit. I'm pretty thicc up top myself and have a medium length neck with XL traps and it wasn't bad.
i'm 6'-2" 250 and use the Atlas Air large, fits great
