Let me know when you ride streets on how it works when tucking into the bike.

curious you don't see this in MotoGP, Superbike, or AMA. Maybe a good reason, maybe a crap reason.

Alpinestars is developing a similar product for the street. (called the A-CR for Alpinestars cervical Road/Race) A couple of riders have used it in the Red Bull rookies cup. They're looking to make it for production. Stay tuned.

It's a bit late for my broken clavical 3 years ago... But I'd still be interested.

Not sure it would have prevented that. I am going for neck protection, already fractured it once and i dont think i will be lucky again. They say if you have a hump on the back of your suit all you have to do is cut a slit for the piece that goes down your back. My concern will be my back protector. i may have to wear it on the outside of the suit. Who knows if it works for street then great, if not just something else to wear to make me safer on the motcross track. It may take six weeks to get so i will update when i get it.

Well it was my helmet that broke my collar. When it pitched sideways and came down I heard it spap. that brace looks like it would keep it from doing the same thing again... I look forward to the review..
