Are all the extra straps and such really neccessary on the hybrid sport?

I was thinking by it already being strapped on you it would be less to deal with why putting seat belt on it would already be in place

But you can take the top one off while it is still attached to your helmet. With harnesses removed obviously.
 
I just got the Impact Accel and its pretty simple and has adjustments to make it more comfortable. I haven't raced with it yet but im pleased so far.
 
Necksgen has quick release pull straps where the tether mount to the helmet, and its small enough that you can get in and out of your car with it on no problem

The simpson seems like it has a lot of plastic going down your back, could be uncomfortable up against the seat?
 
If you guys want, I can bring my Necksgen to AOP this weekend and let you guys check it out. It may be a tad small for you though Will because I got the medium.
 
Mine has the quick disconnect straps on the tether as well and makes it a breeze unhooking from it. I don't think any of them mentioned would be a bad choice over a neck roll. I can already tell with just putting mine on and sitting that I fell more comfortable and able to move better rather than my helmet just resting on my neck roll. Anyone is also welcome to try mine out this weekend if they want to.
 
NeckGen PSA

Co-dog and I run them in east coast racing. We got very sore and bruised from them in the last race. I called Neckgen.... Offroad racers kept reporting this same issue to them so they developed and tested a better pad. It's a thick gel pad, as opposed to the thin foam that comes with them standard. They also developed a better sticky material for us, the velcro comes off under side of the unit from the dust and junk off what we do. If you call them they will send you what you need. Good company.


Edit - as stated. Neck douhnuts will simply help support the weight of the helmet. They don't protect your neck from anything but muscle fatigue.

I let Will try on my Leatt this weekend at Windrock. He was not kidding about a big neck. He could hardly get it on. I would also like to try on the the Necksgen next weekend. I am think about getting one and want to make sure i like it better.

I went from the Leatt to the Neckgens. They are different for sure!
The Neckgen doesnt support the weight of the helmet like the Leatt. I havent noticed my neck being more sore after an event though from it. (thick neck and lots of helmet workouts I guess). So thats kinda a knock on the Leatt where it kinda replaced the neckroll in supporting the helmet at some points.
Way better mobility in the Neckgen. Getting in and out of the car, strapping in etc, you are completely unencumbered vs. the Leatt which is like wearing a medical neckbrace and trying to enter and exit a car. Win Neckgen.
Helmet mobility. I had the long tethers on the Leatt so I dont notice much side to side additional viewing, maybe a tad favorable to the Neckgens, but the looking up and down is awesome, vs. Leatt you were pretty much locked at one elevation. I really notice it when doing my lapbelt, or going down a hill with an immediate uphill, so you know where to hit the bottom of the hill to head back up.

From comfort and mobility the Neckgen handdown. From a protect your neck when you wreck...I still think the Leatt is better all around for that, but the sacrifices are worth it IMO to have better mobility and car ingress/egress.

PLOWBOY Rolls it

i have a question. Plowboy is wearing all his safety stuff in this video and to me it looks like if he were to roll and the buggy caught fire for whatever reason it would take him some time to get unlatched on everything. Am i wrong or am i missing something? I haven't ever worn this much safety gear but then again i'm doing the stuff he does. I remember when Hillbilly Delux went up in flames and it happened within 5-10 seconds tops could Richie get out in that amount of time?
 
I think that's where the fire suit comes into play? Seat belts only one latch Hans has two straps that release it from the helmet? How fast he can unhook is up to his reflexes and practice

No doubt that Richie has more and better safety gear than most all of us, but I'm a bit leery of those wings on that side of the seat. A roll on his left side like in the video and it looks to be difficult to exit through the passenger side with them and the shifter/ shift tunnel, etc. Not dogging it at all, but it would be like pushing a basketball through a garden hose if I was to try and get out quickly, maybe time for me to look into Jenny Craig's program?
