The only FDA-cleared piece of sports equipment proven to help protect athletes' brains from the effects of repetitive sub-concussive head impacts.
While helmets protect the head from the outside, the Q-Collar helps protect the brain from the inside. This lightweight, non-restrictive device applies light pressure to the jugular veins, slightly increasing blood volume in the brain's veins and capillaries to help reduce the brain's movement within the skull upon impact.
Backed by over 10 years of research and more than 25 pre-clinical and clinical studies, the Q-Collar is designed to be worn alongside existing protective equipment — it sits comfortably below helmets, above shoulder pads, and does not interfere with mouthguards, pads, or other standard gear.

How should it feel when worn?
It may feel snug at first, but most athletes report they no longer notice it after a practice or two — similar to breaking in other new equipment.
Is it compatible with other gear?
Yes. It's designed to work alongside existing protective equipment — sitting comfortably below helmets, above shoulder pads, without interfering with mouthguards, pads, or other standard gear. For hockey, it can be worn underneath an existing neck or laceration guard without affecting fit.
What if I'm between sizes?
If you're unsure after measuring, choose the smaller size. If it doesn't fit upon receipt, you have 30 days to exchange it for the right size.
