What do you thinks is better the new 661 protector or the leatt brace. Im not sure on what to buy because I believe that leatt brace are better since their only speciality is the neck protection while the 661 protector has more than one specilalities. I have a 661 presure suit and I would be wearing it with the leatt, or take of everything and just use the new 661 droid neck chest protector. What do you think would be the best choice?

what do you mean by the chest? the pressure suit? or the new 661 protection? because the new 661 protection has a neck brace incorporated.

The 661 has the best of both worlds i think,it's way cheaper than the top of the line leatt brace and the weight is maybe not a tadd more than the leatt(it's realy light i heard).I realy like the concept of the 661.If the 661 guy's said it will have the same adjustments like on the Leatt than this will be a truly awesome product that people would wear in MX and DH.

The 661 has 1 cons and that is that it will only allow riders that weight atleast 140lbs or more,while the leatt is for every one ranging from 6 year olds to bulky adults with no weight limits.I don't say that the 661 is far better than the leatt since the leatt is on the market for many years,i would love to see some MX reviews on the 661 what they have to say compaired to the other neck braces on the market.

I love my Leatt brace and it's been good to me since i bought it but some how i also would trying that 661.

I dont think there are many people under 140 pounds that really need the protection of a brace like this though

I found the 661 pressure suite + leatt not the best combination,had a 661 pressure suit and i hated it with my Leatt.But to each of their own.

the leatt needs to be used alway's under the pressure suit,the 661 with it's crappy velcro straps where are pain of the ass for me.Since this year i have the ixs battle jack + leatt combo and it's fit's like a hand in a glove.
