these are supposed to be one of the better ones out there, set up specifically for street/track riding.

they are set up for speed humps in suits and are supposed to be awesome. I am going to look into one for next year, might be a bit constrictive at first but I can get used to it I think.

Not trying to be a knob here. But exactly what kind of accident are they protecting you from? And what is the frequency of said accident?
It would appear that it would help when you toss yourself head first into the side of a Van, or car on the street, or maybe into a wall at the track. I'm sure it happens, but what other than money are we giving up by wearing one?

I was thinking of this for my next suit, although it is a bit pricey.

I think the most important piece that I don't see enough people wearing are impact shorts.
I picked up a pair of Dainese and its been great so far.
I wear my Fieldsheer undersuit over the shorts, so the suit moves around my body easily...
There's a bunch on that site and gives an idea, The Damon hard tail looks like would be perfect.

just saying, i think shorts are more important than a brace...at least in my previous experiences.
I think the bottom line is, whatever you get. you must feel comfy enough as to not notice it at all on the track.
There is such a thing as over-doing it, restricting yourself and movement and feel on the bike.

Looks like a great accessory to your tactical suit

That neck brace very closely resembles the HANS devise that NASCAR and F1 use. There are several drivers that attest to it saving them from serious injury. But i agree with a few of you that it has to be comfortable. if it seriously inhibits the rider then its pointless
but it would be another very nice security blanket
