Alpinestars Youth Neck Brace

Specially designed for youth or smaller framed rider, the Alpinestars Youth Neck Brace 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.

• Constructed from an injected polymer compound that has been extensively impact tested on a range of off-road surfaces and varying temperatures
• Ultra lightweight EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) foam on the 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
• 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
