Exclamation Favorite Neck Brace?

I'm looking at different neck brace options and am leaning towards PCS.

Let everyone know what you like! :thumb:

I've been using my PCS collar for 2 years. No problem with it. I've been very happy with it. I'm going to get one for my 12 year old nephew who is just starting to ride dirt bikes.

Thanks for the votes and replies. I think I'm going to pick up a PCS 1.5" collar.

Voted for the PCS 1.0" I feel it also helps protect the collar bone, have never noticed, while riding and since it attached too you chest protector, dont forget too put it on or lose it..

This past weekend, the kid took a pretty hard fall, smacked the back of his helmet off the trail and snapped his collar bone.. I still stand by the PCS though..

yeah.... My understanding of collar bone breaks.. (I don't have one, but have watched many snap, and accompanied more than a couple people to the ER with them)... is that it is usualy a result of putting out your arms to stop the fall.... the arm takes the blow and transfers to the collar bone, which in turn snaps if it can't take the load... They aren't usualy caused by direct impact on the bone.. (but certainly could be occasionaly)

The best advice, from my understanding, is to tuck and roll with the crash to dispurse the impact... NOT put out your arms like you would if you tripped while walking.... but that is very hard to remember when you're about to smack the ground

EVS RC2, no other brace is worthy of protecting me.
