"We recently gave the DefNder neck brace an extended
sampling at the NASA 25 Hours of Thunderhill. We came away intrigued
with this entry into the head-and-neck safety derby...."
"Bottom line: It's safe and comfortable, but you'll
need to do some setup work first. Put in the time up front and you'll
be rewarded down the line."

Circle Track - January 2009
"For many racers, head and neck restraints have
two big drawbacks: they tend to be pricey and they are cumbersome to
wear. Well, the new defNder team issue head and neck device addresses
both of those issues and still delivers the goods when it comes to protection.
DefNder's philosophy behind the new head and neck device is to offer
all race drivers the opportunity to have the best and most-comfortable
high-performance protection against neck injury at an affordable price."

"The defNder is designed with the racer in mind
with an easy-on design and lots of comfort. Offering excellent side
impact protection, the defNder’s lateral tethers provide superior
safety in 30-degree impacts. The form fits belts aid in comfort by taking
the pressure off the driver’s collarbone and shoulders. A full
range of motion is also a part of the defNder’s design allowing
the driver to freely move their head from left to right. Unique harness
flares work with standard three-inch belts and reduce the chance of
the belt slip in rough conditions. Also unique is the adjustable rear
piece allowing for adjustment between approximately 20 and 40 degrees.
This helps drivers by not having to pick one angle and hope it fits
in their racecar. It also aids those who switch between different classes
of vehicles. Sizing of the defNder is generally universal and its low
MSRP of $549 includes everything..."
Drag Illustrated
"The DefNder Neck Brace stands out amongst the
competition by way of its excellent side protection with lateral tethers
providing superior 30-degree impact protection. The comfort of the device
is unbridled, form fit belts take the pressure off of the driver’s
collar bone and shoulders. Don’t forget the adjustable rear piece
which allows drivers to adjust between approximately 20- and 40-degrees
– making it helpful when buying a unit without knowing exactly
which will fit in your racecar, as well as for drivers who pilot more
than one car. Pricing begins at $549.00 and includes everything necessary,
as well as a carrying case."
SportsCar Magazine - March 2009
“The defNders open construction allows it to fit
a large range of drivers, and the adjustable layback makes it possible
to use in a wide variety of cars. It is also a great value, priced at
$549”……..”Another alternative for a quick exit
is to use the Real-eze quick release. This standard feature detaches
the device from the helmet with a quick pull. The Real-eaze also makes
it possible for a driver to install and remove the device in the car
without assistance”…….”All of our testers reported
that the defNder was comfortable to wear in the car, the Formfit belts
keep the device tight to your body in the car and do a great job of
spreading the load, leaving you without uncomfortable pressure points.
The driver’s range of motion was also good, as there was no restriction
of needed movement within the car."
Vintage Racecar Magazine - Febuary 2009
“Unique features abound in the brand-new defNder,
beginning with the raised collar that is secured at each lower end by
the shoulder harness passing through flared channels, and at the upper
ends attaches to the back of the vertical support chassis that also
has a channel on each side for the shoulder belts. Underlying the entire
setup are flexible Formfit pads to provide a comfortable cushion between
the device and contours of each individual’s body. Unhindered
lateral movement is permitted by the Motion-Max tether system. All the
hard parts are made from an injection-molded Dupont composite, and the
one-size fits most device adjusts to virtually any cockpit setup”.

"The fit and comfort of the DefNder is unmatched.
I felt very comfortable wearing the DefNder while fully strapped in.
With the other braces I have used I found them to be uncomfortable in
one way or another. Either the brace would feel uncomfortable pressing
down on my collar bone with the over the shoulder braces. The braces
that had a back support design felt uncomfortable on my back. The DefNder’s
design lets the harness lay over your collar bone naturally therefore
causing no additional pressure and discomfort. The over the shoulder
design eliminates the need for a back support. The quick release pins
make it easy to attached and detach your helmet from the brace while
keeping the brace in place."
