See that dainese has one but don't know who supplies them.

I have used them in speedway racing but not with bikes as they are too restrictrive, put it this way, If they worked with bikes then you would see more of them.

I received this via email: Alpinestars Bionic Neck Brace - The Alpinestars Bionic Neck Brace is new to the market and has made a big impression in the industry, with it's quality and extremely good value. But it must be said While no product can guarantee protection from all motorcycle injuries, the Bionic neck brace is designed to substantially reduce the likelihood a neck injury.

there is something similar which is compulsory in SX and MX....

one of the up and coming kids a couple of years ago cased a landing i think and is now in a wheel chair... his name escapes me at the moment...

for MX and SX i think its good but road riding maybe be too much of a hinderance in terms or head checks and so on??? just a thought
