I've had this idea before. But why are there only air bags around his collar? It seems like there should be more of them.

Thats got to be expensive. Wonder how much it is to replace the bags when they go off.

well i guess they figure protect the most vital area. im sure if this goes into production they would have multiple models with more protection.

for racing yeah it seems expensive. probably meant for more street oriented riding. for racing i use an Astars collar for supermoto. restricts some head movement but. maybe if they put a speed sensor on it to deploy in only certain instances? still a good idea.

Will be interesting to see if it goes into production.

They downsized it a lot, looks worthless for real shoulder protection now. the original can be found here:

Dainese is just in on it as a marketing exercise.
