Its expensive yes, but IMO...its cheaper than a hospital bill
It doesn't take me long at all to put it on. I did spend a good time with adjusting and practicing removing and putting it on so it was just like normal habit when I finally got to the track.
Here's how I put mine on. Luckily for me, my head can slip right through the opening. When I have my race suit on, I actually use my eyes to look up so I keep my head level. I slip it on and then put on my helmet...easy as that.
To take it off, I just use the red switch on one of the slides and pull the brace apart...it will pivot on the attached red switch/clip side. Once its off, I clip it back all together and place it on my bike on so I don't forget to put it on.
I'm all about movement efficiency.
The KEY thing about this is making sure you fit it properly. At first I thought it was no good but turns I adjusted it out too small. The kit includes different brackets to adjust it as needed for you. You also get this piece of cardboard shape like an L that you need to use to make sure the clearance between the brace and helmet is right.
Also, when I ordered mine I could not see the sizing. I actually called Leatt and asked for the size I needed. To my surprise I needed a LG/XL!!!. Thank goodness I called because I was about to order the S/M. I gave the lady over the phone my measurements, weight, height, etc.
