Question Z-Tech Series 1A SFI 38.1 HANS type device question

https://zamp-inc.myshopify.com/colle...nt=25603176262

Anybody here have any experience with this model? Recommendations? Pro? Cons?

I like the adjustability. I'm just wondering how it compares to the Necksgen Rev and the Schroth SHR Flex which are more known in HPDE circles.

I have 3" wide belts.

TIA

It looks like a well designed HANS. I like the fact that the angle and width are adjustable on it.
If you have a 6 point harness, it should work for you.

the main issue we see is the inside of the yolks sit a little high so if you have a helmet with a lip on the chin area or a short neck, it may limit your side to side head movement as the helmet may hit the yolks.

The price of the Zamp is attractive compared to the NecksGen Rev 2. I considered the Zamp but went with NecksGen as it appeared to be a simpler/cleaner design, plus I wanted one to accept 3" belts too. I haven't worn it on track yet, but I've belted up while in the car. it's super light, easy to put on while in the car, and I hardly notice it's there when wearing it (not intrusive or restrictive at all).

I purchased one. the PRO : Great Adjust ability, As I am Driving I really don't even know Im wearing it.

The CONs:
1) The Straps do not "Slide" Even though its one piece they might as well be 2 separate straps. What this means is being able to turn your head is very limited.
2) The Guides on the shoulder where the belts ares upposed to go are only 2 5/8" on the lower gray part and 2 3/4" on the black upper part. This means my 3" belts are kinds (highly technical term here) "Scrunched".

When you say "Pro", do you mean this one?

No experience with them, but all those adjustment points look like things that could fail/go wrong. I prefer something with a more simple design. That said, a HANS fits me just fine, so I've never had a need for adjustment.
