HNR thoughts

So, is Necksgen back in the market again? They had them at the Racer Expo, and the website is introducing the 2014 models.
Sfi approved? Legal for SCCA then?

Yup.

I've got one, it's pretty OK. Honestly, I thought my old HANS fit my clavicles and chest better, but the NecksGen is not bad. And it's not HANS.

I like the lower profile for getting out of the car. I have a pro rage now. I don't like it at all.

NecksGen just came out with a new design, too - much smaller than the old NecksGen / DefNder and HOPEFULLY not in violation of HANS mojo.

Give it time.. They'll find something wrong with it and sue 'em.

I tried that new Next Gen...quite impressive.

I just purchased a Necks Gen Rev (the new model).
Its really comfortable and I think it will be a great improvement over the HANS I had.

I was a very early adopter of the HANS, mine had no SFI sticker, just FIA,,, and no little winglets on the sides.
I have always battled with the belts sliding off the "yoke" part on my chest.
Might be the shape of my torso (I'm kinda barrel shaped) or the length (or lack of length), but I always struggled to keep the belts firmly on the yoke part.

I tried 2" belts, 3" belts, I moved the adjusters up, down, anywhere I could,,, I tried the stock rubber surface on the yoke, finally I added some skateboard grip tape to the yoke and then they started to somewhat stay put, but not enough that I felt warm and fuzzy about it.

When I saw the NecksGen Rev advertised I though well this would 100% solve that problem I'm having because it deletes the yoke part the belts ride on over my chest. I ordered one on the condition they would take it back after a quick test fit in my car. I love it. I have not driven with it yet, but sitting in my car in my garage fully belted in with helmet its night and day different in how the belts fit.

So far, I am a fan of this new Necks Gen Rev unit.
