My son is 5 and starting to get quick. The wife was getting after me this weekend because all of the other kids were wearing neck braces. I've never worn one and wouldn't know. He wears a Fox chest protector. Which one do y'all recommend?

In all honesty, once my kid outgrows his Atlas, I don't know that I'll get him another neck brace. I'm just not convinced that they do anything other than cause bad riding position, which also causes riders to go down. I've personally talked to Ryan Hughes on this subject and he is 100% against neck braces for this very reason. He was very knowledgeable about the subject, enough so that it really got the wheels kicking in my head.
Braaphole, yeah I've seen/heard Ryno go off about them, which is one reason I never used them, but if it makes wifey feel a little better, then I'll take it.
As you can see if never hindered his body position, but if just a comfort thing. I may slip it back on with out making a big deal about it and see if he complains.
