I'm hoping this is the right place to ask.

If you take a look at 0:54 and on in this video about the Sportstuff Lulu: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llWYfcFgaPo, you can see that the life vest that the performer is wearing has some sort of neck support/brace. It looks like a Sportsstuff vest, but they're website does not have vests anymore. I really like the idea of a neck brace because I have hurt my neck tubing, I cartwheeled off our tube when it hit a wave going around a turn and I suffered whiplash that kept me out of the tube for 2 weeks. Does anyone know where I could find a life vest like that to try to prevent that sort of injury from happening again? I'm 16, and I'm always up for a tube ride but I would rather not suffer whiplash again.

Re: Life Vest with neck support?

Those links you put up gave me the keywords I needed. "High collar". Brings up tons of results of what I want on google (below). Thanks!

Now just because they have a high collar may not mean they're stiff and will protect my neck, but I'll look around for stiffer ones and anything with a high collar should provide some protection.
