Atlas Brace Close Up
Atlas Brace Technologies brings safety, innovation, comfort, and design all into one neck brace. The Atlas Brace design features a dual chest and back support, which distributes the force of an impact onto a larger surface area, while at the same time transferring the pressure off of the sternum and spine area. Suspension was also designed into the front chest supports to absorb impact and prevent possible injuries.
To provide extreme rider comfort, the Atlas Brace features 3-Axis adjustability and an open-ended rear design, which allows the brace to flex and follow body movements, instead of restricting them. To find more info on the Atlas Brace please visit:
