Which Seat belt?

[V8 Vum]

I know that this probably has been raised before, but considering their importance, I thought it would be useful to get a consensus.

The criteria is obviously safety first, then comfort, and then ease of use, then looks!

So, what have you guys found?

For me, the emphasis would be road use, but with the occasional track day, and I believe this is what most will do.

There are a number of belts out there, including the factory offering, so please can I have your opinions please?

Cheers

I have used Sabelt 4 point with turn buckle.
I have also added their shoulder pads because the belts can cut into your shoulders and neck if worn on longer trips and pulled up tight as they should be.
Also I thought the red with yellow trim went well with the yellow car.

Hello Keith
I think you will find that any of the proprietary brands offer more or less the same type/quality product and it really comes down to design features/looks and price IMO. The only point I would make is that the three inch wide shoulder straps that I have on the GTW do cut into you, and upon reflection, two inch may have been more satisfactory

Hi Wayne,

Thank you old chap...useful!

Although the thought of losing yet another inch , does make me wince somewhat!

I had 3" 5 point Sabelts in the GTR and the factory 2" Willans in the Can-Am. The Willans were more comfortable and less of a 'faff' to put on.

If safety is most important to you then 3" is the only option as in a crash the load will be spread over a wider area and cause less injury than with 2" straps.

For the reason mentioned above, my Sparco 3" straps are very comfortable even when pulled up tight for track days etc.
