I'm pretty sure it was the Wu Tang Clan, who in nineteen ninety-somethin' told us to "Protect Ya Neck." I don't think we need a trip back to the decade of neon and nylon to know that the neck, and what sits atop it are pretty important stuff, right? Motocross is a dangerous sport and we need to do all that we can to keep our bodies safe. Luckily new products are hitting the shelves often and many of them with appealing price tags, which leads us to the new Alpinestars Bionic Neck Support Special Blend.

The Bionic Neck Support works by distributing the load of a helmet pressed into its collar across the riders shoulders, channeling weight away from the spine. The Special Blend in the title refers to a new polyurethane blend in the frame, which in our best guess translates to the more affordable price point. The BNS SB features adjustable shoulder pads for fitment, which helps accommodate riders with a shorter neck.

The Alpinestar BNS SB is our top pick for protection for this holiday season and of course, it's available in our shameless commerce department. Order yours today and receive it before Christmas.
