I have a buddy who has a Fieldsheer two piece with a speed hump (anyone else remember the Alf episode with speed humps in the hallway??).  I have no idea what model it is, but it survived a pretty good lowside at the track last month.  A couple other local guys swear by the fieldsheer too.  I don't know that it would comparet to an A* or Dainese heads up, but some leather's better than no leather.

it could defintely protect your spine if you went down in that area, but in the end, its for keeping your head stable at high speeds. you could also cut the leather add a zipper and use it as a bladder.... im still looking for someone who can sew leather to do that for my Kobe suit.

Try a Shoe Repairman.

my 2 cents on that speed hump, race hump, camel hump, my last wreck im sure the hump helped keep my neck from doing what its not supposed to, but i must throw out that i have a mild bruise on my back from said hump. I can say with great certainty that had that hump not been there my results would have been far worst. Speaking of humps had i stayed home and humped i would have avoided the wreck completely. ( gonna have to show this post to the wife try to guilt her into my next hump )

It was also my understanding that the Hump was for aerodynamics.

When in a racing tuck, the air will flow better with a Hump up against your Helmet.

+1.  the hump creates a smoother transition from your helmet to your lower back, hence less air turbulent behind your helmet.  Less turburlent and smoother air flow = less drag.  I doubt it would make that big of a difference for street riding or at our speed at the track.  It's mostly for looks, IMO.
