What: Omega neck brace
How much, $270, ebay.
There are certain peices of riding gear that once you start wearing them, you can’t remember how you rode with out them. This is exactly what happened with my new omega neck brace. Now anytime I’m on the bike without it I keep imagining landing on my head and seriously tweaking or breaking my neck. To get the idea of what I’m talking about ride down the street with a half helmet. If you’re used to a full face it’ll feel like your face is destined for the cement. Being a cheapass I initially tried the evs neck brace which was an utter nightmare. It was so restrictive I couldn’t even look through the turn! The omega is fully adjustable, offers real protection, and practically unnoticeable. Highly recomended.
