TeamTech "RamPack"
Any input on this harness? Are they worth the extra 70 bucks each? How are they compared to an individual type harness, as apposed to a Y or V type? Im confused on which kind to get. I know I want a camlock though :D

Re: TeamTech "RamPack" (C5 Hardtop)
In my mind the very unique and valuable part of the TeamTech harnesses is the added padding in the harness which distributes the load on your chest and pelvis.
I was also very satisfied with their customer service. They were very responsive to questions.

Re: TeamTech "RamPack" (Reeves)
I posted this on another thread...
Another approach is the TeamTech "RamPack". Rather than having a a web that is designed to fail at a point to absorb the energy, TeamTech has a large padded "vest" that distributes the load. I personally hit sideways at over 100MPH with it at NHIS and was not hurt (well my knee was hurt from hitting the clutch pedal).
"The Ram-Pac Harness is a "state of the art" design that combines the 9000 sternum strap with 9002 chest and pelvic pads for decreased lateral and forward movement of the upper flank and are padded to allow for maximum belt tightness without discomfort. Additionally, the full body padding system is designed to rapidly dissipate and spread out dangerous high impact energy, normally concentrated at the neck, collar bone, and pelvic regions. Race course proven, this harness improves driver concentration, comfort and greatly reduces fatigue. This model also includes release tabs and pull loops for easy release and positive adjustments of harness straps."
