Anyone use this gadget?

Post by mayhem » March 12th, 2012, 10:12 am

Anyone use this gadget? I hear a lot of neck pain issues while hiking. EP this might work for when you tweaked your neck on one of those heavy back pack loony hikes?

looks like something out of the Spanish Inquisition. :shock:

I'd be worried that it would strangle me, if the thing was over-inflated.

Cool, put it on Mark's neck and hook it up to my air compressor for quicker inflation and stand back!!

On a serious note - it might be handy on the trail, to immobilize someone's neck if they were injured. But you'd have to slip it over the top of their head, right? That might be risky, since you'd be moving their head....

It certainly looks like something that would support the neck. It might be uncomfortable in warm weather, though.

It kinda looks like there may be a clasp system in the back. It doesn't look like it would fit over anybody's head really.

Sorry, I really thought Mark was attempting to be funny again. He also said that I could try
my knee brace for my neck too. ;)

This is a way to ease that tension in your neck. Available in a variety of sizes. I've never used one, but, hey, I've never had neck problems.
