Default Right side net ?

Hey guys ,

Need to order new harnesses and i have a question regarding the right side nets ...
It appears Schroth now offers a buckle type tie down unit with no ratchet good for five years per FIA, while
other units can be had with a ratchet tie down and SFI approved for two years ?

Any pros or cons before i place my order ?

Thank you

Very happy with mine, just finished our first enduro weekend @ Barber with this setup.

You really want one with some sort of ratchet for tightening. I’m particularly impressed with the Safecraft design.

Since i’ve never used one before , i was wondering how much tension is required for the net ... there is no way to tighten
the tension with the buckle. It seems only Schroth has a buckle system ...

Not much really. It's supposed to catch your head and maybe arms.

i have the shroth w the seatbelt clicker thing, it works exactly the same. you can spend a lot more on safecraft though not necessary unless you must have the cool shiny hardware. safecraft is pretty sweet kit. they make a ratchet for right side and the post/button version for the left (I believe cup cars still come w that left side net).
