Leatt built it as a dedicated small platform rather than a cut-down adult brace: 450 g of closed-cell EVA foam, shaped around a small rider's shoulders and collarbones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGetting a young rider into kit should not turn into a wrestling match, so the Black 1.5 Mini opens at the front with a split release buckle and comes with its own body strap in the box.

That foam does not soak up water and keeps the brace light, which matters on a child who is still building neck and shoulder strength. Inside the two thoracic struts that rest on the chest and back, Leatt adds a polyamide reinforcement (10% of the material), so the struts can carry crash loads away from the neck and into the torso instead of folding. The remaining 5% is polyester in the padding and straps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSculpted cut-outs above the collarbones give the helmet rim somewhere to go other than the bone itself, and the curved upper surface acts as the landing zone for the helmet edge in a crash.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting the 1.5 Mini\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe split buckle at the front is the only fastening the child has to deal with: open it, lay the Black brace over the shoulders, close it. Because the buckle is large, it can be worked with riding gloves on, which helps at the start gate. The supplied body strap then runs under the arms and keeps the brace from riding up or rotating when the rider stands on the pegs or lands from a jump.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeatt does not publish a size chart in centimetres for this model. The Mini is the only size, and the manufacturer's instructions describe the check instead: with the helmet on, the brace should sit flat on the shoulders and the helmet rim should come close to the brace without pressing on it when the head is tilted back. If you are unsure whether your child is already too big or still too small, ask us before the first ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWorks with body armour\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany young riders already wear a chest or roost protector.

The manufacturer's instructions describe a practical check instead: put the helmet on, close the brace and see that it rests evenly on both shoulders, then have the child tilt the head back.

Ten percent is polyamide, used as an internal reinforcement in the thoracic struts, which are the parts that transfer crash energy from the brace into the chest and upper back. The last 5% is polyester in the padding and straps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver the collarbones the shape is cut away, so the edge of the helmet is kept off the bone, while the rim platform on top gives the helmet a surface to land on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePairing with a chest protector\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf your child already rides with a Leatt chest or body protector, check for Brace-On shoulder pads: most Leatt protectors have them, and the 1.5 Mini is designed to rest on them so the two pieces stack cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTesting and care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeatt lists an EU type-examination certificate from RICOTEST (525255002) for the 1.5 Mini, and it carries the CE mark as personal protective equipment under Regulation (EU) 2016\/425.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePull the pads out and wash them; wipe the orange shell with soap and water only.

The upper edge is shaped as a striking platform for the helmet rim, and the collarbone cut-out stops that rim from landing directly on the collarbone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeatt states that its braces reduce critical cervical spine injuries by up to 89% and collarbone injuries by up to 45% compared with riding without one, citing an independent moto study by Action Sports EMS.

The sculptured split front opens to put the brace on. Leatt does not publish a centimetre size table for its neck braces; the manual explains how to check the fit instead. With the helmet on, the brace should rest on the shoulders without rocking, and when the child looks up, the helmet rim should come close to the brace without the brace forcing the helmet.

Leatt calls this a composite matrix platform; it is the stiff part that takes and spreads crash loads. The rear thoracic strut is reinforced with nylon (10%), and the injected foam padding (5% polyester) cushions the contact points. The CoreFlex section at the back is split so it can flex with your spine while riding and break away before it causes injury in an extreme crash.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProtection\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 3.5 is built to keep the helmet from travelling too far in a crash and to route the force that would hit your neck into your shoulders and torso instead. A collarbone cut-out keeps the helmet rim off the collarbone. Leatt says its braces lower critical cervical spine injuries by up to 89% and collarbone injuries by up to 45% versus no brace, based on an independent moto study by Action Sports EMS. Treat that as the manufacturer's figure for the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe brace is CE tested and certified as personal protective equipment to Regulation (EU) 2016\/425.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSizing and adjustment\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose between S\/M, L\/XL and XXL. Leatt does not publish a centimetre size chart, so the manual describes a fit check instead: with your helmet on, the brace sits evenly on both shoulders, and when you tilt your head back the rim should meet the brace rather than the brace pushing the helmet. Fine-tuning happens at the rear, where a one-way adjuster sets the strut angle against your back.

SureFit sliders at the front and rear give three ways to change how the brace sits on your child: the height at the chest, the position of the back strut and the height of the whole brace relative to the helmet. When shoulders get broader or the child gets taller during the season, you reset the brace rather than buying a new one straight away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeatt does not publish centimetre ranges for the Junior size. The manual explains the check: with helmet and chest protector on, the brace should rest evenly on both shoulders, and when the child tilts the head back, the helmet rim should come close to the brace without being pushed up. We are happy to help you judge that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProtection\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike the adult model, the 5.5 Junior limits helmet travel in a crash and directs force away from the cervical spine into the shoulders and upper body. A collarbone cut-out keeps the helmet rim off the bone. Leatt cites an independent moto study by Action Sports EMS for its claim that braces lower critical cervical spine injuries by up to 89% and collarbone injuries by up to 45% versus riding without one. That is the manufacturer's figure, given here as such. The 5.5 Junior is CE tested and certified as PPE under Regulation (EU) 2016\/425.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrame and CoreFlex strut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe junior frame uses the same material split as the adult 5.5: 85% reinforced polyamide for the main frame, 10% nylon in the rear thoracic strut and 5% polyurethane foam in the padding. The rear strut is Leatt's CoreFlex design. It is split, moves with the young rider's back, and is engineered to break away before it can put excessive pressure on the spine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eClosure and armour\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA low-profile push-button opens and closes the brace, and an emergency release mechanism allows it to be removed quickly after a crash.

The red 5.5 gives the helmet rim a defined platform to meet and then spreads the energy into the shoulders, chest and back, which can carry far more load than the cervical spine. Collarbone cut-outs make sure that platform does not turn the helmet edge into a lever on the collarbone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeatt states that, in an independent moto study by Action Sports EMS, riders with a brace saw up to 89% fewer critical cervical spine injuries, and collarbone injuries fell by up to 45%. This is Leatt's figure, reported as the manufacturer's claim. Formally, the brace is CE tested and certified as personal protective equipment under Regulation (EU) 2016\/425.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCoreFlex and the frame\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe back of the brace is where the CoreFlex design comes in. The rear thoracic strut is split and contains nylon (10% of the brace's material), so it flexes with you as you ride and breaks away under extreme pressure before it can cause a back injury. The main frame is 85% reinforced polyamide, and the remaining 5% is polyurethane foam in the injected padding, which Leatt describes as durable and easy to clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAdjustment\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe red brace uses SureFit sliders at front and rear for three-way adjustment, and Leatt's manual adds four interchangeable wedges that set the angle of the rear strut. There is no cm sizing table from Leatt; instead the fit is checked on you. Wearing your helmet and protector, the brace should lie on both shoulders without tipping, and when you look up, your helmet rim should come down close to the brace rather than the brace pushing the helmet up. Choose S\/M or L\/XL by build, and contact us if the fit is in doubt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDaily handling\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA low-profile push-button opens and closes the Red 5.5, so it stays flat under your jersey.

The material breakdown is 65% carbon fibre in the chassis, 20% polyamide (nylon) in the thoracic strut and fittings, 10% polyurethane foam in the padding, and 5% other materials such as the metal fittings and elastics. On the upper shell the carbon structure stays visible under the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the back sits the CoreFlex split rear thoracic strut. It flexes with the spine during riding and is designed to break away under extreme force before it can injure the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProtection and certification\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 6.5 works on the same principle as every Leatt brace: it limits how far the helmet can move in a crash and passes load from the neck into the shoulders and torso. The helmet rim platform gives a defined contact surface, and the collarbone cut-out keeps the rim away from the collarbone. Leatt states that its braces reduce critical cervical spine injuries by up to 89% and collarbone injuries by up to 45% compared with no brace, quoting an independent moto study by Action Sports EMS. This is the manufacturer's statement. The 6.5 Carbon is CE tested and certified as PPE to Regulation (EU) 2016\/425.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSureFit adjustment and fit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSureFit sliders on the front and rear give the 6.5 three-way adjustment, the same level of adjustability as the 5.5. Leatt publishes no centimetre size chart. The manual explains the check: with helmet and protector on, the brace should sit evenly on the shoulders without rocking, and as you look up, the helmet rim should come close to the brace without being lifted by it. Choose S\/M or L\/XL by build and, if the decision is close, talk to us before you order a brace at this level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eClosure, emergency release and armour\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA low-profile push-button opens and closes the brace and stays flat under the jersey. The emergency release mechanism, marked on the brace, is there for quick removal after an accident. With a Leatt chest or body protector that carries Brace-On shoulder pads, the 6.5 rests on those pads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eClean the carbon shell and the washable injected foam padding with soap and water only, no solvents. Leatt's manual says a brace that has been in a crash must not be used again, and that a brace in frequent use should be replaced every two years.
