The
EVS RC Evolution Race Collar brings advanced neck protection to the motocross and downhill mountain bike market at a more affordable price point. Designed to compete head-to-head with the more expensive Leatt Brace, the RC Evolution Collar gives you protection from the most common sources of neck and spinal injuries: compression (your head pushed down into your shoulders), hyper-flexion (your head pushed forward too far into your chest), hyperextension (your head pushed backwards towards your back), and lateral hyper-flexion (your head pushed too far to one side).
The EVS RC Evolution Race Collar helps protect you from:
- Compression. The padded collar stops your full face bike/moto helmet from compressing down into your shoulders
- Extension. With the frame in back and the padded collar in front, the RC Evolution stops your helmet (and head) from extending too far back or too far forward.
- Lateral hyper-flexion. The frame limits the amount of sideways movement your head/helmet can travel.
The EVS RC Evolution accomplishes this protection through a carefully designed structure that absorbs, diffuses, and deflects energy during a crash. Neck braces like the EVS RC Evolution and the Leatt Brace have emerged as a "must have" piece of protective gear for motocross and are showing up more and more in the downhill mountain bike area. Given the speed and nature of crashes in downhill, the EVS RC Evolution neck brace can offer excellent protection with only a moderate amount of weight.
Technical features of the RC Evo collar include:
- A modular collar assembly for an easy, ergonomic fit
- Hook and loop (Velcro) connections for easy attachment and detachment
- Adjustable height to allow you to customize the fit to your body
- Soft, rubberized edges for added comfort
- Mesh covered vents for improved air circulation
- No buckles, nuts, or bolts
- A soft tether for attaching the neck brace to your chest protector (if worn)
- Removable liner, so you can wash it and get the stink out
