This could save your life... Hans issue I had...

Re the sliding tethers - when I think about the situation when a HANS is working, in a hard impact, I like the thought of the fixed tethers "lining" my head up square with my shoulders.

That said, I spent a bunch of time bothering a Vee driver at the runoffs about the hybrid that he was using, and have tried in a dfender/nexgen, and do not plan to buy a HANS to replace my ISAAC.
 
The only hang-up I have with my DeFnder is on the belts, which I just need to flip out of my way first.

The issues I've had with my DeFnder have been:
1. Belts: the adjusters hang up under the "arms" of the DeFnder that go down my chest.
2. There's a shallow hook on the DeFnder that keeps the shoulder belt from sliding off. I've had this hook hang up on a center net.
3. the sheer bulk of the helmet/DefNder combination barely fitting at all through the available window opening. (Miata)
