I looked at the Scroth device a few weeks ago and thought it looked "interesting" Weird that the side pieces which rest on your shoulders are rubber and flexible.
The HANS in proven technology. When I see professional race series drivers using it, and when there are some real world examples, perhaps I would see it as a viable alternative. Until then I don't want to be part of the experiment.

I've had HANS, Hybrid Pro, Isaac. Have been using the Neckgen Rev for the past year and love it. Superior comfort to anything else. Also some added degree of lateral protection. I'd recommend a Necksgen over a traditional HANS to anyone.
With that said, I am intrigued by the new Schroth as it also looks like it also offers some added measure of lateral protection lacking in a HANS. If Schroth wanted to send me one to test I'd do it and report back.

There are also series that required carbs up until recently. There are also series that are fine with going 100+mph with trees along side the road and no walls like a road course.

Just remember that certain series require only a HANS. Nothing else is allowed.

Protection in a side impact is more about the rest of the safety equipment in your car than it is about the head and neck device you select. Such as seat choice and whether or not you have a center net.

But none of that means the Hans Device is flawed. It works and works well. I guarantee that Formula One would not still be using the device it were flawed.

Look at the big picture.

The Hans Device does exactly what it is intended to do. If you want side impact protection, you need more than any one of the head and neck devices available. None of them provide enough side impact protection to make any one of them significantly better than another.
The seat, window net, and center net choices are far more important than which head and neck device is chosen.

I hear you but since I rely on Schroth seat belts and side nets to protect me I feel the risk in moving to new technology offered by Schroth is a risk I am willing to take.

I am trying to decide between the Schroth SHR and the NecksGen REV. I have some concerns over the level of frontal protection offered by the REV vs. a more traditional device with a yoke. I have a halo seat but still would appreciate the additional side protection offered by the REV (as well as the comfort) assuming that it has equal frontal capabilities.
Can anyone weigh in? Or does anyone know of any positive outcomes while using the NecksGen REV?

The Schroth has an even lower neck area that may be slightly less intrusive, but requires 2" belts.
The NG, with nothing over your chest felt like it will be very comfortable and accepts the 3" belts I already have.
After running factory non-sport seats and OE seat belt, I'll feel much better about things with safety gear, a back half cage, and some GT-3 seats.
Pacific is tree lined w/o tires in many areas, has a 160mph turn 1, then into a fast sweeper. It's easy to forget how fast you're going on the track and start getting used to some pretty ludicrous speeds that have lots of potential.

Just a little hint.
We are getting screwed on H&N restraint prices here in the USA.
I order my stuff from Europe now. They won't ship HANS to the USA, but they will ship the other brands.
Take a look at the new Sparco Suits on that site.
