      Hi Everyone,

      First off let me tell you that I really appreciate your input. I’ve learned a lot from this forum thanks to some of you.

      I’m looking to buy a neck protector and I’d like to get something that works well.

      My price range could go up to $300. I just would like to buy a good quality one once instead of many cheap ones.

      Please, I would like to know what you guys recommend based on your experiences.

      I know I keep asking a ton of questions here, but given that I don’t know anybody around here that has experience in karting I’m relying on this forum as my main source.

      I hope someday to be able to help others here as I’m being helped.

      Thanks again!.

      I have the 360 device and it’s awkward at first but once your in the kart racing its like its not even there.  I did have and accident skidding backwards at 65mph into hay bails and pillow barriers and can say it did it’s job when my head went back upon impact.  I walked away unharmed and did not have a sore neck or back at all.

      Thanks guys, I think I’ll be getting the 360 plus device. If I don’t get use to it, at least I won’t lose as much as if I buy the Leatt and don’t like it .

      Donnie thanks for sharing your experience with the 360. I’m glad you walked away unharmed and that tells a lot about the device.

      Thanks again!.

      I agree with Brian Spek, Valhalla 360 is a good product.
