I'm sure the more I wear them, the more I practice with them, my heart rate will come down and everything will be OK."

Tributes have continued to be paid to Johnson following the incident with Mike Sullivan, his former coach at NHL team the Pittsburgh Penguins, saying it is an "incredible tragedy". The best part about this brace is that EVS took a completely different approach when designing their brace compared to the other companies. In doing so they have created an efficient design at an affordable price. We like the minimalistic design and freedom of movement that you get with this brace. It is similar to the Atlas in that sense. Leave your collar on at all times, except when cleaning it or as directed by your healthcare provider.

Despite the material make up, the brace comes in at 735 grams (1.6 pounds). This is the heaviest carbon brace on our list. Even so we would still consider it to be quite lightweight. The extra weight on it is no doubt a result of the extra material used which can be seen as a plus when you take into account the comfort of the brace.

The shell itself is made of reinforced nylon molded into an aerodynamic design which is sturdy and reliable. Underneath the nylon is a hi-tensile closed cell PU core which helps absorb the energy from an impact as well as distributes the forces across the body naturally.
