Alpinestars neck support
Im a bigger guy and race MX. I have a shorter neck and had bought my son a Leatt a couple years ago but I didn’t like it for myself. I broke down and tried a BNS and noticed alot more ROOM. So far so good; great product for us short neckers.

Very satsfied
As I haven't had any sort of cataclysmic accident where this might have saved me from life-changing injury, I can't really comment on it's actual effectiveness; I can only count on Astars doing their homework and from what I can tell, it's extensive. As far as fit and feel, however, it's awesome so far. It took me literally zero time to acclimate to wearing it; by the first turn at the track my mind was oblivious to the fact that I was wearing it. It's very light weight and looks and feels very quality. Based on my 3 track days so far with this, I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a nice weight savings over the less-expensive model.

great product
I bought this for my son who races in enduros. He likes it but it took a few times to get used to it. His chest protector wouldn't fit with it so I wish the one that would work with this was offered together as a package.

Alpinestars Bionic Neck Support
After receiving the BNS I was somewhat disappointed with the finish quality of the product. Parts of the device were not aligned correctly and I am unable to rectify this as I do not know what type of adhesive they have used. I am glad that I did not pay full RRP for this item.

Alpinestar BNS gets an 'A'
I finally broke down and decided to get a neck support. I tried a Leatt brace and the Alpinestars BNS and like the way the Alpinestars fit and its construction. I thought I give it a try without the X straps, then with the straps and figured I'd need them, but as soon as I put my chest protector on that really help the placement, so no straps! It actually took about 10 minutes and I forgot I was wearing the brace, I even reached up a lot during my first ride with my Alpinestars BNS on to make sure it was still there!

Perfection is here....
I am blown away with the quality of the Alpinestars brace. This makes all the braces I have tried in the past look cheap. Very well made and designed. I'm going to get one for my son next.

Best Neck brace on the market
I just received my new Alpinestars neck brace a couple weeks ago and have ridden with it a few times now. I previously owned a Leatt and I have found that the Alpinestars brace is far superior. It allows for a better range of motion and floats on your body way better than the Leatt. The rumor was that a lot of people were breaking collar bones with the Leatt and Alpinestars as made a product that curbs that issue. This brace floats above your shoulders in the area of the collar bone so when there is an impact it absorbs a lot of the blow before contacting your collar bone. All around this product is top notch and well worth the money and an essential safety piece for every rider.
