I have the Hutchins Hybrid which I feel is quite a bit safer than a Hans, I listed it for sale not long ago due to not having a car to run until next year, missed this season completely, etc...NIB.

I have the Hybrid Pro, love it. Easy to get in and out with, and easy to wear.

I also use the R3 because you can use it with a 3 point stock system and still get protection. JD

This certainly is interesting. You can use the R3 with the stock 3 point belts and if you have a race seat that can use the stock belts you will still be safe? I'm wading through the many options and this one is new to me.
I realize it depends on what type of racing you want to do, in my case at this point it's HPDE's.

I just spoke to a sales rep at Safety Solutions and they told me that the R3 is the only device that can be used independently of a harness belt.

Without starting a pissing contest over which is best!! I really like the R3 and have been using it for 3 years. The best part for me is that it affords protection when in a students car with a 3 point harness. There test show it is equal the Hans with the use of the harness. If you look at the top drag racers, many of them are wearing the R3 or the Pro version of it. Just my .02 JD

I know of allot of Karters that use it. They really like that it controls the head from getting tossed around and is much better than the old horse collar. Remember Karts don't have belts.

I am just a DE guy but I wear a R3. I was very thankful that I had it on when I hit a tire wall sideways. I did have a 6point harness on and not the OEM belt. Its' because the R3 is secured to your body that it will work with a OEM belt.
