i have just bought the adventere body protector but not the neck brace. i have heard that here in spain neck braces are going to become compulsery for dh races so i might get one later and i chose the leatt because of this. it is very light weight and comfy. maybe a bit expensive but i would still recomend it. hope that helps.

It's a solid piece of armor but you'd be way better off going with the neck brace and no armor than armor and no neck brace. You can bruise, scrape, and break the shit out of your body lots and lots and it'll heal... you snap your neck even once and you're fucked big time.

Oh yeah, that'd be perfect. I rock the older club brace and it's great. The newer one even comes with the lower profile DH padding so you can get a couple extra degrees of view down the trail. After a few rides, you'll forget you're even wearing it.
