Cutting-Edge Brace Technology from Dr. Leatt
The world-renowned brace technology used in the Fusion 3.0 was created by trauma surgeon and motorcycle racer Dr. Chris Leatt. Leatt products are backed by scientific research and are created in collaboration with leaders in the safety field. Dr. Leatt works with a team of designers and medical engineers to develop products. Research and development for Leatt takes place at the Leatt Lab in Cape Town, South Africa.
Comfort and Convenience
The three-dimensional design of the Fusion 3.0 is convenient to get into and out of. Customers appreciate the perfect fit and, though it’s often not needed, the brace is adjustable. This product is easy to use and does not require any tools. Lightweight and high in comfort, riders say that they barely notice the brace is there. The protector is also well-ventilated to eliminate heat buildup and keep riders cool throughout the day.
Safety
Motocross riders tend to be susceptible to injuries of the back, chest, flank, neck and shoulders. The safety technology in this combination neck and body brace protect against various dangerous scenarios. The integration of protection is what makes the Fusion 3.0 unique, as many braces don’t combine neck and body protection in one.
The Fusion 3.0’s award-winning neck protection is CE certified as Personal Protective Equipment 89/686/EEC. The Fusion 3.0 is also CE certified for impact protection in the following areas:
- 1621-2 Level 1 Back
- 1621-3 Level 1 Front
- 1621-1 Shoulders
Side-entry design eliminates the gap in the front protective plate, which allows this brace to better protect the vulnerable chest area. Body braces that have a gap in the front plate aren’t able to provide as much protection to the front of the body. The Fusion 3.0 also utilizes impact-absorbing 3DF foam. Leatt’s 3DF foam works by deflecting and absorbing energy during an impact, then immediately going back to its original shape so that it can be ready to absorb the next impact. The quicker the event and the impact, the quicker the foam will return to its normal shape.
Sizing and Fit
The Fusion 3.0 comes in three sizes: small/medium; large/extra large; and 2X. It is recommended that you refer to the Leatt sizing chart to get the best fit possible.
Cost
The Leatt Fusion 3.0 Adult Neck Brace and Body Protector retails at around £330.00.
