Lightly used and ready to ride! I spent hours researching the best neck brace, and by the clear winner is the Atlas. At first I was worried about restricted movement and unnatural body position. The Atlas tacked these key issues and did it in a way that actually added to the safety design. Split-Flex Frame provides the maximal amount of comfort and flex, allowing for maximal natural body movement. Additionally, unlike other braces, the split design loads impact away from the spine which is a critical safety feature when you want to protect the spine. Easy Open system allows for quick, repeatable entry and exit with a simple push of a button, in any weather condition. Suspension. The contact points are designed to flex and slow down impact; mimics suspension for your neck. Low profile- compared to other neck braces, the atlas sits lower and provides more body contact which is key in distributing impact forces; yet it distributes those forces away from the spine and sternum.
