U tube review here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFHjInz7HuI

Looks very cool (air flow) to ride with, with the open front. Looks like doing up the straps are a must though where the Leatt Just sits there.
If it does the job ok looks light and open to use!
Maybe Scott can give us more info on when it may come to NZ??

Nice find Reckless, seems to be a very easy brace to put on and alows for good airfow. At NZD$345 it a really good price, here is another review i foundhttp://www.motocrossactionmag.com/ME2/dirmod.asp?sid=&nm=&type=news&mod=News&mid=9A02E3B96F2A415ABC72CB5F516B4C10&tier=3&nid=EE008CB2DAB14C268C85D1A8664F601E

yeh I liked the general set up till it came to the part where you had to strap yourself in every time you put it on where you don't have to use the straps on the Leatt. OK for a racer getting ready for say five races a day or one 3 hour enduro but us trial riders that have the things off a few times a day I still quite like the Leatt. But there are pros and cons for both me thinks.
I wonder what the safety rating of each would be I sense the Leatt would possibly be a little more protective????

Hey Reckless, that's a great solution and true KIWI mod. I didn't originally understand quite what you meant, but I do now, cheers for the pic bro.
Might have to do the same, as you are right that the thoracic member on the leatt comes a fare way down the spine.
Not sure i like the Omega brace, the rear movement looked minimal and pretty sure the strap setup would not be good with my ballistic suit. There is already so much gear to put on when i just wanna suit up and ride!
I might have to get this sorted by Sat, so I can go out riding with the mind the gap boys and check out their whip comp.
Crackle.
