Neck Protection Sparco K-Ring Black/Red

Sparco K-Ring neck brace intended for all types of karting and motorsport

The neck brace is made of a firm foam that provides stable protection while still being comfortable to wear.

The kart protector has a protective fabric cover that can be removed for washing.

At the front of the neck brace there is a split/opening held together by magnets and velcro, this is where you open the brace to slide it on and off over your neck.

At the back, towards the back and shoulders, there is a section that extends down and rests against the back, which makes the neck brace sit perfectly against the body and not shift around while driving.

A neck brace protects against injury by raising the driver's shoulders, since the brace builds up a few centimetres towards the helmet, meaning the head can move less before it is stopped by the neck brace.

This helps prevent neck injuries of all kinds, and in particular there is a lower risk of compression injuries from forces coming straight from above, but it also protects against overextension of the neck from lateral forces.

A neck brace can feel awkward to wear at first, but most people get used to it quickly and see it as a natural part of their equipment. It is cheap insurance and should be used by all drivers regardless of age and experience level.

The brace comes in one size and fits most drivers from junior to adult. For the very youngest drivers (under 10 years) we recommend one of the other models available in child size
