Alpinestars Bionic Youth Neck Support Black/Orange

Alpinestars Youth Neck Support in Black and Orange. Alpinestars adds a new color option for younger Kart and Motocross racers who want to upgrade their protection from the standard foam neck collar.

Specially designed for youth or smaller framed racers, the Alpinestars Youth Neck Support functions when the helmet and support frame provide an alternative load path for the excessive energy that compresses the neck. If the helmet is in contact with the neck support at the moment of impact the overall load passing through the neck can be reduced, which may prevent a fracture from occurring and reduce the chance of muscular injuries from extreme head movement. Although it is not possible to eliminate the risk of any form of injury, the support has been proven to help reduce the most serious damage and minimize the risk of collateral injury as the impact load is channeled away from the neck.

• The frame is constructed from an injected polymer compound that has been extensively impact tested on a range of off-road surfaces and varying temperatures.

• The anatomically profiled frame promotes positive helmet contact in the event of a crash while allowing freedom of movement. Ultra-lightweight EVA foam on the support's underside for comfort and positioning, and to distribute the impact force over the widest possible area.

• Quick Release Closure system for convenient engagement of the support also facilitates the quick removal in case of an emergency.

• The rear stabilizer system helps to keep the support in position and is also designed to channel extreme energy loads away from the spine by transmitting it across the shoulder and helping to avoid serious spinal injury.
