Due to regulations for transport of dangerous goods by air (IATA) and road (ADR), consumers are not permitted to ship Tech-Air® products themselves for return or servicing. In the event of a return or service request you must therefore deliver the goods in person to one of our Tech-Air® Hubs.

Description
The Youth Neck Support is an MX neck protector for young and smaller-framed off-road riders, designed to work with the helmet to help manage impact forces in a crash. Its lightweight, anatomically profiled chassis and rear stabilizer help redirect excessive energy away from the neck and spine while maintaining comfort, freedom of movement, and integration with Alpinestars youth body armor and chest protectors.
Key Features
Quick release closure system: enables fast removal in an emergency and convenient on-race use for younger riders.
Compatibility with A-5s Youth Body Armor and Youth Bionic Action Jacket: allows the support to integrate with Alpinestars youth protection for broader off-road coverage.
Independent strap setup: lets the support be used on its own with the supplied YNS A-strap for a secure, rider-specific fit.
Protection
Category 2 PPE certified in accordance with EU 2016/425.
The rear stabilizer system helps keep the support in position while channeling extreme energy loads away from the spine by transmitting them across the shoulder to help avoid serious spinal injury.
Construction
The YNS frame is constructed from an injected polymer compound that has been extensively impact tested across off-road surfaces and varying temperatures.
The anatomically profiled frame is shaped for controlled helmet contact while maintaining the compact structural design.
Ultra-lightweight EVA foam is used on the underside of the support for cushioning, positioning, and force distribution across a wider area.
The quick release closure system is integrated into the construction for secure engagement and fast removal in an emergency.
The rear stabilizer system is built into the support to help retain position and direct load transfer across the shoulders.
The support is supplied with an easy-to-use strap system for over-jersey or under-jersey mounting.
The Youth Neck Support is engineered for integration with the A-5S Youth Body Armor via the supplied connection system.
