I use the SHR Flex from Schroth. I don't have anything to compare it to, but I like it. After a long time strapped in collarbones can get a bit rough from the padding that sits direct on them. Otherwise, great product.

Actually a 20L Pro HANS. Works with the OMP HTE-R XL seat angle and six point harness. FWIW, helmet is an Arai GP-5W.

I use a NecksGen Rev2Lite, and I still have my older NecksGen REV for passengers.

Both have been totally fine and comfortable.

Beyond the neck restraint, I really recommend a halo seat to help prevent side movement. I use a Recaro Pro Racer and really like it. The Pro Racer runs pretty narrow---more narrow than a non-halo Recaro Profi SPG. (The Pro Racer is available in an XL.)

I use the Necksgen Rev2 Lite and a regular Hans Sport. The Rev2 lite is way more comfortable than the Hans.
A friend uses the SHR Flex

I use the Sparco Ergo seats as they have removable Halos. I think Halos are quite important as they cover an area that has no protection with a 6 point harness

Had Hans now have Hybrid. I told every single one of my friends who got a head and neck restraint device after me to get a Simpson hybrid. I finally made the swap too.

Less bulky you can keep it on connects to lap belts and it looks cooler lol

I have a HANS Sport that I have had for several years. I voted for the Simpson HANS Sport as this was the closest option and the Simpson site shows it to be exactly the same. When I bought mine the Sport was the lowest cost for a HANS.
