Dainese technology has developed the Neck Collection: articulated support for the neck that accompanies its every movement and provides support against the wind in order to provide safety and assurance without precedent in any riding position. The Collection is based on a system of jointed pads that reflect the shape of the cervical part of the spinal column and accompany the body during all its movements on the bike: in the maximum speed position, the Neck support contracts and follows the neck inward, whereas in more relaxed, touring position, the Neck support reaches its maximum extension in length in order to support the neck and increase riding comfort. There are two versions of the Neck support depending on the number of composite pads: The Neck 4 support offers four cervical neck support pads; the Neck 6 support features another two lateral pads that support also the shoulders, a part of the body that is particularly stressed during long journeys.
Pros: Extremely comfortable.
Feels safe.
Works as advertised, making a tucked position easier to hold by supporting the neck.
Slips in easily.
Cons: Obviously made for Dainese jackets, so a little tweaking is going to be required for the perfect, secure fit.
As somewhat of a safety freak, I decided to buy protective gear for just about every part of my body (currently only lacking pants with knee/shin armor). After hearing my EMT instructor's horror stories regarding fatal crashes or paralysis resulting from cervical spine injuries, I was sold on just about anything made to protect that part of the body, and combined with Dainese's reputation for quality, this seemed like the best move. Well, I hope to never test it in a crash situation, but for all intents and purposes, it is exactly what I was after. Comfortable, lightweight, supportive and protective.
