I love the fact that you don't have to worry about Hans size, belt types, seat position, not moving your head freely, and also that you can take your helmet and s
safely drive any car with a 4-6 point belt.
There is a VERY interesting discussion in the Racing n Drivers education sub forum.

Yes bought it 3 years ago.
Gave it to a friend recently together with the helmet who uses it for rallye racing in a Mitsu Evo 7.
He had used Hans before for years and he loves it.
To be honest I have never used HANS tailor made for my size but did try one once for a weekend and it felt akward.
This thing you don't even feel it's there.

Just contacted the guys there for shipping to Belgium.
The fact you can use it on any helmet is nice too. I see no need in buying a specific car helmet for which there is a lot less choice than getting a very decent motorcycle helmet.
never understood why car helmets are much more expensive than motorcycle helmets, even in the same brand (the most expensive motorcycle helmet from Arai costs about 800€, for a car its > 3000€). And they are all white!!

Note Allan's response ref the rear impacts. I do know from experience that a hard side impact to a K wall deployed the side airbag (only) on the contact side and activated explosives in both 3 pt seat belts. Was wearing 6 pt, HANS, full face, half cage, in a 996 GT3 seat (in a '7 GT3).
Two injuries, one cracked rib and pride. Good humility training.
roll bar (not harness bar), HANS, 6 pt, & seat,,,don't leave home without them!!!

The Isaac does not require drilling?
I have seen people put the HANS anchors on motorcycle helmets before. Just need to drill for it..
