Atlas Brace Adult Carbon Neck Brace Protector 2013

The Carbon is Atlas Brace's feather-weight crown jewel. To create a weightless product this elegant, Atlas really had to push the limits of innovation. Completely re-engineering nearly every unique feature wasn't enough. Atlas' mission was to develop new features that go above and beyond, while obsessively re-imagining the possibilities of simplicity. The result is a 635g beauty that improves upon every single feature introduced with the Original brace to create the most elite product dreamt of. Feather Weight Weighing in at an amazingly light 635g, this is the lightest feeling, flexible, high end neck brace available on the market. Period All-New ERS (Emergency Release System) The re-designed Emergency Release System is an incredible improvement to the revolutionary emergency feature Emergency removal can now be performed in three seconds, with two simple steps, and with no loose parts: Grab the right frame so that your thumb is on the red aluminum ERS tab; at the same time, push the ERS tab with your thumb and pull the frame apart New Frame Design Along with the newly re-designed ERS system this new frame design allowed Atlas to add innovative and collapsible chin/throat padding to the front of the brace which is there for that 'just in case' moment, while being completely camouflaged into the elegant design of the brace Re-Designed Back Supports Atlas cut the weight of their back supports in half and added a flex-tip feature to the bottom of each back support, making these the most technologically advanced and largest surface area back supports Reversible CNC'd Rear Mount Inserts New reversible rear mount inserts offer adjustment without the need for an additional set of mounts Simply loosen the rear axles of the brace, rotate the red inserts 180 degrees and tighten Two sizes built into one mount allows for this amazingly simple design to be extremely user-friendly New Chest Strap New chest strap system with more adjustment and simplified operation Chest strap included Adjustability Reversible rear mount inserts offer multiple offsets for chest size and a custom fit for smaller individuals Easy On and Off Simply lower the Atlas Brace on/off over your head like a helmet No flimsy clips or fasteners to hassle with and no disassembly of the brace is required during regular use Simplistic, Flexible Design The Atlas Brace is the first non-rigid brace on the market By creating a simplified design and allowing the frame to flex upward and downward in the rear Maximizes comfort, minimizes bulk and reduces the 'trapped' feeling that other products can create Dual Pivoting Back Supports By incorporating dual back supports into the design, the Atlas Brace provides greater surface area spread across the back while transferring loads around the spine rather than directly into it Increasing surface area helps disperse loads over a larger part of the body, aiming to reduce pressure points in critical areas of the body Open Sternum Helps transfer the impact around the sternum on a greater surface area of the body, possibly reducing the risk of a fracture Chest Suspension Unique, flexible, leaf spring design chest supports that allow the chest supports to aid in absorbing and slowing down hyper-flexion impacts Promotes further rotation of the helmet, helping to keep the body in motion rather than the head coming to an abrupt stop on impact Innovative suspension system can also help to reduce some forces transferred through the helmet, head and chest by distributing them through the brace Custom Energy-Absorbing Padding Unique material properties help to disperse energy from an impact before it reaches the body, further reducing smaller injuries such as bruising or muscle fatigue when compared to conventional EVA foams All padding is water-resistant to ensure no wet padding during use and no added weight 6061-T6 Aluminum Hardware Custom designed, CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum anodized to meet the requirements and specifications for this product All hardware is mounted parallel with specific areas of the body to ensure no bolts are mounted in a way that could puncture the body in a catastrophic crash scenario In The Box Each Atlas Carbon brace is packaged with two strap systems, one hard shell brace bag, one optional shoulder padding kit (for height adjustment) and a multi-language use manual Sizing (chest circumference just under the arms): Tyke: 24-28" chest Prodigy: 29-33" chest Small: 33-36" chest Medium: 37-41" chest Large: 42" and larger chest
