P104 PRODUCT REVIEW I ATLAS AIR NECK BRACE T he Atlas Air Neck brace first entered the market in 2012 and was designed to address the comfort issues that many riders faced with the first-generation neck braces. It is designed to be light and small in overall size. It's made out of ex- tremely durable and impact-resistant poly- mer. Polymer is flexible to "slow down vio- lent impacts in an effort to spread out and reduce impact forces, rather than coming to an abrupt stop," says Atlas. The Atlas Air Neck brace also features a Split-Flex Frame design for comfort and mobility, and like all Atlas neck braces, does not sit on your spine or sternum but instead on your bigger muscle groups of the body to dissipate forces more efficiently. Atlas claims the Air Neck Braces actually contacts the body 27% more than other neck braces which it says is beneficial in that this helps better spread out impact forces. The Air Brace is designed for easy entry, is fully adjustable and comes with a hybrid strap. For some, neck braces restrict mobility and are cumbersome. The Atlas Air Neck Brace takes aim at these issues. Plus, they come in a variety of sizes and have plenty of adjustability.
