Hans v Simpson hybrid in SR3

[Gc285]

Anyone have recommendations. I am erring towards Simpson as they seem more comfortable, but not sure if they are proven in an off.

I have neither so need to buy something.
I know they must meet the relevant safety standards.
I haven't tried either but have read a few threads on them and the Simpson seems to come out on top for being comfortable but obviously dearer.

Hans device - becomes natural after the first use..
One word of caution. In my car I have the narrower seat belt strap fitted ( drivers side only ). A scrutineer spotted this and asked to see my Hans device. He pointed out (very politely etc )that you MUST have a Hans device to go with the narrower belts. If you don't have Hans then you should not ( must not ! )use these type of belts. The wider ( normal/standard )belts are quite acceptable with or without the Hans.
Hope that helps

Why....or Am I being brainless,,,

Im still undecided.
I like the idea of side impact protection and perhaps a head prop in rh corners. which is not something that radicals supply.
I also like the idea of it being possibly more comfortable, but getting it off seems to be easier with the hans as I think it can be pulled off with the helmet.

Does anyone here use the Simpson in a radical?

I have decided on hans rather than hybrid,
I assume 30 degree angle is essential.
Will belt position need to be changed to hans spec?
The Adjustable one comes with sliding tethers and is a touch lighter. the 30 deg one is heavier.
Any recommendation on which one or alternatives?
