Hans V Simpson Hybrid

[rpgk]

Hello all,

I was just wondering if anyone had any definitive views on which of the two head and neck restraints are better.

I have been reading through the various threads on here and most comment that Hans is only forward/back protection whilst Simpsons also protects against lateral movement. There was some suggestion that the hans was better for frontal impact though.

Appreciate monies play a part but was just looking for general consensus, if you were to purchase a head and neck system would it be hans or Simpson?

Thanks in advance

Thank you Jeff - think it will be a Simpson for me as I too have no side protection. Thanks for response.

I find the hans uncomfortable, but that's probably because I wear belts so tight - I can feel it digging in to my collar bone even with the padding and my hmm natural padding!!
Will definitely give the Simpson a go, primarily as I want the lateral protection.
