Leatt and the Neck Brace

The brand is best known for spine and neck protection across both mountain biking and motocross, and that is where it started rather than where it ended up. The neck brace is still the product the name is attached to.

Everything since has been built outward from the same idea. The helmets, the body armour and the pads share a design language and are made to layer together rather than fight each other under a jersey.

Helmets From Trail to Gravity

The MTB Gravity line covers the full-face end, with 1.0 and 2.0 options in the range, and the MTB Enduro 2.0 sits where a rider wants one helmet to climb in and descend in. Sizing runs small through XL across the lines.

Check each listing for which standard a given helmet carries, because it varies by model, and the shells are not interchangeable with another brand's fit.

What We Stock From Leatt

The range groups into four:

  • Helmets. MTB Gravity full-face options and the Enduro 2.0 convertible-style lids.
  • Neck braces. The product the brand built its name on, for gravity and downhill riders.
  • Knee and shin pads. Lower body protection across pedalling and gravity weights.
  • Body armour. Upper body protection for bike park and downhill use.

Jerseys, shorts, gloves, bibs and shoes fill out the apparel side, including the GripR gloves and the Endurance and Trail lines.

Layering It Without Getting Hot

The practical question here is what goes over what. A brace sits on the shoulders and under a full-face, so the helmet has to be sized with the brace on rather than without it.

Pads are the other decision. Lighter knee pads pedal better and go unnoticed on a climb, heavier ones are for days when you are getting shuttled. RideViz sunglasses cover the eyes on anything short of a full-face.

Protection is the gear you hope to never test, which makes it easy to put off buying. Worth sorting before the trip rather than after the incident. Anything over $99 ships free, and unworn protection can be returned within 60 days.
