Off-road gear maker Dirt Freak has launched new protective items: a neck roll and knee brace covers. Both are designed to protect the body during off-road riding, offering added peace of mind around the neck and knees on forest trails and courses where falls are an ever-present risk.
Neck rolls and knee brace covers are unglamorous but genuinely effective protection. What I look at is the fit, resistance to slipping, and whether it actually protects the areas it's meant to. It's not flashy, but this kind of detail-level protection is exactly what proves its worth over long hours and long-term use. This is an item I'd want to verify through actual measurement and wearing it myself.

The more protective gear you add, the harder it is to move, so it's a tricky balance.
For someone whose main thing is forest-trail touring, this is quietly a very welcome new product.
Dirt Freak's products are domestic, so I'd expect a fit tuned well to different body types.
Is a knee brace cover something you slip over an existing brace, or is it a standalone protector?
A neck roll is understated, but it makes a real difference to crash damage, so it's an important piece of gear.
Is a neck roll something you should wear even on a regular touring ride?
