GEARWHORES HELP!

You guys would know better than I, so here goes...

I saw a throat/neck protector that attaches to a RAV, RRV, CIRAS, etc. It looks pretty thick, and they come in all the fun colors. Problem is, I can't find another picture, and I have no idea what they are called. Google has failed me. Can anybody tell me what these are called, and if there are airsoft versions available? Thanks in advance, and sorry I can't come up with a better description.

The CIRAS set is called just that:

Pantac makes a replica set that comes with everything there in "all the fun colors" .

Thats the main collar I've ever seen for a CIRAS, its a side and back of the neck protector. I did find a "throat yoke" or ballistic collar, but all the places I found it are restricted sales because they really contain the armor. www.protechsales.com/dnn/Default.aspx?tabid=94
Blackhawk makes a few different ones, this picture is a better view of it.

Eagles are empty and I just filled mine with a floral green foam to give it a bit of rigidity and volume.

Question answered! Damn that was quick! Time to go over to commerce and sell some stuff so I can buy one. Fun color of the week: CB

Thank you, Relarz!

It's worth noting that you mentioned an RRV in your first post, these cannot be affixed to an RRV. The ones linked above are specifically designed for the CIRAS, so the CIRAS has velcro inside at the correct spots. This same set up won't work for a RAV either if the one I had is any sort of indication. You could probably rig something up, but its only designed for a CIRAS. However your avatar makes it look like you wear a CIRAS, so it shouldn't be an issue.

Yep, I run a CIRAS. Question though. Upon further inspection, it would appear those collars cover the back and sides of your neck. The one I'm looking for covers the front and sides. It would act somewhat like a really thick lower half of a balaclava. Think "bomb squad."

Could you just affix it backwards to cover your throat?

You're thinking of one more like this, I think:
www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airsoft/Combat_Gear_Pouches_Attachments_Pantac_Outer_Tactical_Vest_Neck_Pad_Khaki_Cordura.htm

Which that one is for an IOTV, not a CIRAS.

This is the kit Pantac makes: www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airsoft/Combat_Gear_Vests_Pantac_Force_Recon_Protective_Accessory_Kit_CB_Cordura.htm

Which is much cheaper than I remember it being before. Bear in mind, depending on what CIRAS you have, it may not have the buckles on it to attach the groin protector. Everything else *should* work.

To answer your question more directly, I have no idea if you can mount the throat protector differently, but my guess is probably not.

The price was $90.

Yes, very much like that, but a little more "rigid" looking. I think a RS one goes for like, $60-$70? Of course you need a license to even purchase it. I'm sure you can maybe pack some soft foam into it to fill it out a bit? From what I can tell in the picture, it doesn't look particularly thick, but that IS what I was looking for.

EDIT: Found a good picture.

The thing in FRONT of his neck. I don't know if a ballistic collar covers the throat or the nape, but "collar" suggests the nape, and sides of the neck.

Thanks again for the quick responses!
