what's the hump for?

[smithy5]

If your neck bends back far enough for your helmet to hit the hump your neck is ratshit anyway....... the only advantage I can see is that the hump may assist in keeping your head up when your sliding on on the bitumen on your arse...............

May also be good for fluid storage, I heard some big hairy beast uses a hump for this........ ........

The hump is race. Althouh I think it's more fashion than anything else (unless your Valentino Rossi). Both my leathers have them but they don't interfere with your helmet or anything.

got my jacket last year at the bike show@ hombush. they didnt have the pants so the jrays leather pants work well. Both did pretty good on a 60k lowside.

The only benefit I can see is keeping your head up in an arse slide off and perhaps some whiplash reduction. I can't see how it could be aerodynamic, It would need to be reversed to be aerodynamic. Like a nose cone on a truck roof. the pointy bit needs to face the other way.

With a hump on your neck the wind would travel around your helmet and then hit a flat spot causing drag.
What you need is a one piece helmet and hump...... not a separate helmet and hump........

something like this would work.
