Wow! Looks real. And I bet the ones who'd use it are the same ones who wear helmets.

I would guess it's a prototype. On a hot day I think a neck collar would be more uncomfortable than a helmet.
I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

Aren't those great? Bikesnob had something to say about them recently. I agree the collar would not be comfy in the heat.

Hee - I kept thinking - if you're too worried about looking like a dork to wear a helmet, better not think too hard about the looks you're gonna get if this thing ever inflates...
