Having a quick look around on the web i can see numerous makes of neck brace which seem to be for motocross, is there any which are MTB specific and any recommendations?, i presume the leatt dbx is a MTB brace

I only want one for the odd occasion when i really want to hit something but just want that extra bit of confidence. Will prob take it off once iv hit the stuff and confident with it

When you take it off is when you need it.

Use them on a risk based approach - ie am I going fast? Am I going fast through stuff with big features? Am I going fast through stuff with big features, that is surrounded by trees to crash into?" - it could even be "Am I a novice rider that is coming off a lot at the moment". Etc - then choose the amount of risk you are willing to take before wearing one - and stick to it.

On the trails, MX types seem to just keep them on whatever they are riding - especially on uplifted days.
