Team Valhalla 360 Plus Karting Neck Collar

• Kart‑specific neck collar: Valhalla 360 Plus Device
• Molded glass‑filled nylon core + dense chin foam pads = greater control of helmet motion
• Reduces frontal & rear hyper‑flexion, controls excessive lateral motion while still allowing head rotation
• Racing‑approved: WKA & IKF accepted
• Sizing: Youth (10″–13″ neck circumference) & Adult (13.5″+ neck circumference)
• Lightweight (~1.5 lbs) to minimise driver fatigue
• Adjustable foam components to fit different chest/torso thicknesses
• Break‑away feature for enhanced safety if hooked during an incident
• Designed for sprint‑kart use only—not for sealed automobile harness or HANS‑type use

Sizing Recommendations:

How to Measure:
Wrap a soft tape measure around the base of the neck, where a helmet or collar would naturally sit. If the driver is between sizes, choose based on comfort and helmet overlap—tight enough to stabilize, loose enough for free movement.

Fit Tip:
The collar should sit snug around the base of the neck without pinching. The rear should contact the helmet base under tilt, and the front chin pads should align just under the jawline. Adjust foam shims as needed for individual chest depth and fit.

Elevate your kart‑safety with the Valhalla 360 Plus Karting Neck Collar—a purpose‑built device designed for demanding sprint‑kart environments, high speeds and rapid direction changes. Unlike traditional low‑profile foam collars, this device features a molded glass‑filled nylon core and firm foam chin pieces that provide a stable platform for your helmet while fighting excessive motion in all axes. Frontal hyper‑flexion is managed by the helmet striking the chin‑foam pads; rear hyper‑flexion is reduced via the upper and lower vertical brace assembly behind the helmet; and extreme lateral motion is controlled by providing a firm side/roll‑over resting surface while still allowing full head‑turn for corner checks.
The device is engineered to fit race‑kart neck dimensions (Youth: approx. 10″–13″; Adult: approx. 13.5″ and up) and weighs only ~1.5 lbs—so it adds protection without compromising driver mobility. Velcro‑adjustable foam pads allow fit‑tuning to different chest thicknesses. A break‑away design ensures that if something hooks onto the collar it can release, reducing serious neck injury risk. Approved for use by the World Karting Association (WKA) and International Karting Federation (IKF), the 360 Plus is built for the rigour of sprint karting competition. Whether you’re stepping into your first national event or upgrading club gear, this collar gives serious protection to match serious karting.

Team Valhalla 360 Plus Device helps with:

• Weight: 1.5 lbs
• Frontal hyper-flexion is reduced by the front of the helmet coming in contact with the firm foam pieces of the device under the drivers chin. These components are constructed of foam that is much denser than the normal neck collar currently worn by drivers.
• The vertical braces of the core piece, located behind the driver's helmet, helps control the rear hyper-flexion. The helmet coming into contact with the upper vertical brace, located directly behind the driver's head, reduces backward movement. This engagement then transfers the energy to lower vertical brace located against the driver's back.
• Extreme lateral motion of a driver's head is minimized when the helmet comes into contact with the device. While not hindering the driver swiveling his/her head from side to side, the device provides a robust platform for the helmet to rest against as in a roll over situation.
• Compression load is the amount of pressure and stress exerted on the spinal column due to an impact. The compression load on this part of the body is unloaded when the helmet comes into contact with the device. The energy is then transferred to the device and then to the upper torso area of the driver.
• This is all accomplished while still allowing the driver unrestricted rotation of the head to look over the shoulder for oncoming karts.

The 360 Plus Device is also designed to prevent the helmet from projecting over the edge of the Device and creating a fulcrum action. The foam pieces under the chin of the driver are much stiffer than the foam used in other neck collars that are currently available to the driver now.

• The denser foam allows for better control of the helmet movement.
• The 360 Plus Device is designed with foam parts in the front, verses plastic, to help minimize potential injury to the throat area if forced backward.
• Designed break away feature. In the bizarre event that something should hook inside the Device, the 360 Plus Device is designed to break away so that the potential for serious neck injury is reduced.
• The foam pieces are also adjustable - laterally, front to rear - to adjust for the different chest thicknesses of drivers.
