Default Interesting new neck restraint option

The Leatt Moto-R comes from the world of Cycle racing.

It doesn't use a helmet harness and it appears to provide better side impact protection than those that do.

I just bought a Moto-R Pro but haven't received it yet. I'll report on how I like it later.

It's available but for some reason hasn't been added to their online store as yet. The Pro version is $695.

I think I'm quite interested in the $395 model. I've seen it before and wasn't sure that it would work in a sports car. I'll bet side visibility is a bit better with it as well. I think I'm going to reasearch it a little and see if the price and features make it a winner.

Make sure if required to run such a device in your intended orginization(s) thay you buy an approved one

-------------------------------------

I picked the R3, costly, a bit more hassle to use, seems to offer better overall protection than the Hans, hope I am right
