Meru Safety Ascent Carbon Braces

Meru Safety Ascent carbon braces feature the newest technology in the head and neck restraint market for concussion prevention. The devices apply an industry-changing Inertia Dampening System (IDS) to help drastically reduce concussion-causing forces without giving up any neck safety. The braces provide a full carbon head and neck restraint, complete with stainless and aluminum hardware. The included backplates feature a built-in hydraulic shock absorber to help dampen head movement throughout the entire length of impact, while their honeycomb pattern allows the pads to remain firm enough to maintain a car-feel, but enough 'give' for comfort. The design of these restraints works with all seating positions and makes for a product that weighs approximately two pounds. All Meru Safety Ascent carbon braces include tethers, helmet mounts, and a carrying case. Other features include: * SFI 38.1 approved * Hollow carbon fiber collar with non-slip belt grips * Custom molded honeycomb infill padding with Nomex wrapped covers are oversized for maximum protection * Magnetic locating helmet anchors * Fire-resistant Kevlar® webbing sliding tether with quick-click magnetic blended M6 stainless steel helmet mounts * Hinged collar and headrest design with a hydraulic shock absorber * Fully customized CNC-designed dampener with proprietary IDS technology featuring speed-sensitive valving to maximize both safety and comfort * Moving headrest allows for universal use in all seating positions * Reduces the force through the head on the Z axis to 53 G-forces in a 70 G-force impact * Hundreds of pounds under the SFI upper neck tension threshold Show Less
