I found that the largest size was too small for me as well. Any info on XL, XXL?
Thanks,

If it isn't too far off, you might get w/whoever you purchased it from and have them send you the 40mm pins.
I've got some 40mm pins coming right now and I think it'll do the trick. Mine is also a L/XL... chest size is just under 44" w/out gear on. I spoke with the West Coast US Distributor and this was his recommendation (have the 40mm pins sent out). They do have an XXL version, not sure if that is basically the same as the L/XL w/40mm pins or not.
TJ can get all that stuff too... I'm sure he'll chime in here soon.

As 1000RR has stated the 40mm pins will help with most riders. You have to make sure you adjust it out of the box as well to the larger settings. We have a shipment of XXL's in bound but I probably won't see those for a few weeks.

While we wait for a bigger size, does Alpinestars make something comparable in a bigger size?

This is the only brace that will work with a leather jacket or race suit (race tuck). Alpinestars is designed specifically for off road and adventure touring.

Rider Feedback: So I thought I'd post some feedback from a couple weeks ago, my first time out on the track w/the Leatt Neck Brace.
Very impressed and delightfully surprised with the lack of impingement from the brace. You literally forget you are wearing it.
The two things I was concerned with were: - The Brace "riding up" while out on the track. Although it does come with straps that go under your armpit area, I didn't want to have to attach them every time I went out Result: Didn't need the straps at all. The brace didn't seem to move due to air flow or me moving around on the bike.
- and... the brace creating impingement for your head movement. Result: I had no issue while moving around on the bike, looking through the turns, etc. The only time I noticed it was there was when I would take a quick shoulder peak to see who or how close someone was behind me. And even then, with a VERY small adjustment in how I turned my head, I was able to still easily accomplish a quick peak
VERY satisfied with the product and would certainly recommend it for those looking for some added protection while out on a street ride or frequenting the track. It is now a standard piece of protection in my gear bag... get's used all the time, just like a quality back/chest protector.
