We’ve done our research, and below are some top products from the most popular manufacturers.
Kawasaki

BMW

BMW Motorrad’s Neck Brace System provides a high-level of protection for the rider’s cervical spine. The brace has two shoulder-blade supports, is easily adjustable and allows a full range of neck movement. This is a great bit of kit which can be folded and therefore easily transported. It can be used with all big name helmets and clothing and is attachable via a zip.

BMW’s City 2 Trousers are ideal for warmer weather; they are made from a mix of cotton and Cordura which makes them breathable and highly wear-resistant, while also providing the rider with a great level of protection.
The trousers come with detachable NP protectors which can be adjusted to two heights at the knees. They also feature a belt, zipped pockets, an adjustable ankle and a connecting zip that fits all BMW Motorrad jackets.
Ducati
