Default Schroth HANS-compatible 6 pt or Sparco HANS-compatible 6 pt ?

Thanks!

I tend to spill a lot of beer while I'm driving and the Schroth stuff seems to hold up well when soaked.

What I really need is a Stilo lid with that fancy drink tube!!!

I've got both. The Schroth in my 996, the Sparco in my Miata. It's close, but I think I prefer the Sparco. As good as the Schroth is, the Sparco hardware seems to function a little better. Adjusting, latching, unlatching all seem easier with the Sparco. I will probably have the Miata at the next DE. You can check it out then if you can wait that long.

Actually Sabelt has the nicest, easiest to use hardware IMHO....When mine is due I am getting the Sabelt harness.

I have a few different versions of Scroth, a TeamTech and a Sparco... the Scroth enduro belts are by far the easist to adjust...the hardware is unique to the particular model of the Scroth line. A bit more expensive, but WELL worth it for comfort and quickness of getting an adjustment that feels right...

If you contact Clark at Apex, he offers a PCA discount and has great service!

I love the Schroth enduro belts paired with the HANS shoulder belts. The enduro belts are very, very easy to adjust and are very comfortable.

I'm used to 3'' shoulder belts even with Hans on. Have you used enduro 2'' shoulder belts w/o Hans on. Does it feel/work ok?

Thinking of getting Schroth Enduro belts next, not sure of 3'' or 2'' shoulder belts.

Dave, Schroth all the way. Hans for driver, 3" for passenger for ride alongs if they don't have a Hans.

My Sparcos (new last year) say Sabelt on the date tag. I didn't really know what to make of that.

I've used both.

The hybrid belts "seem" to work a little better and stay put while tightening. During sessions I don't think one can feel any difference.
