Protect Your Neck and Your Head from Injury with a Meru Safety Ascent Carbon Fiber Brace

Modern head and neck restraint systems have done a great job in reducing head and neck injuries caused by the whiplash motion generated during an impact. They do this by limiting how far forward your head travels during, which reduces upper neck tension that can lead to sever injury.

An issue most head and neck restraints don’t address is concussion prevention. Bumpy tracks, a slow hit of a guardrail, or other low-impact events can be enough to cause a concussion or other brain injury, even if you’re wearing a helmet (which you should).

The Meru Safety Ascent Carbon Brace is designed to protect your neck and reduce the chances of getting a concussion. The idea is that by slowing down the rate of forward helmet movement during an impact, the less force is transferred to your head. Meru’s Inertia Dampening System (IDS) does this by using a speed-sensitive dampener mounted on the Ascent’s hinged collar and headrest to progressively slow helmet movement. This helps spread impact forces over a longer period of time, greatly reducing the chance of getting a concussion. This Meru Safety video shows you how IDS works.

Other features include:
• Hollow carbon fiber collar with non-slip belt grips
• Custom molded honeycomb infill padding with Nomex-wrapped covers oversized for maximum protection
• Moving headrest works with all seating positions
• Fire-resistant Kevlar® webbing sliding tether with quick-click magnetic M6 stainless steel helmet mounts
• Magnetic locating helmet anchors

The Meru Safety Ascent Carbon Fiber Brace is SFI 38.1-approved and weighs approximately two pounds. It’s available in small/medium and large/extra-large sizes.
