Hi, my name is Tommy and I am speaking on behalf of Expert Village. We are going to talk about neck braces in this clip. The neck brace is, it goes around your neck obviously, it goes underneath your helmet, the bottom rim of your helmet, these particular neck braces have a little bit of rear protection, the rear protection does two things, it helps that part of your spine behind your neck, it also keeps your helmet from moving around quite as much. There's a couple of different brands and sizes, this is actually a child's size, it's made for a smaller driver. And they just basically go around your neck, this one won't fit on my neck but, this one is a little bit bigger and they, you can see it's got a bigger pad in the back, it just goes around your neck and you clip, and with your helmet on, it keeps your helmet from moving back and forth. There's lot of different brands of these, there's a lot of brands that don't have the rear protection, I do not recommend them without the rear protection. These run anywhere from twenty-five dollars for this particular brand up to about seventy-five dollars.
