Hans is of course the first one that comes to mind, but seat position is a factor with them.
NecksGen is adjustable from 10 to 40 degree.
I'm still wearing my old SRS-1, but when the helmet goes after this season, will be wearing the NecksGen of course (since I sell it).
I think every model that is out there gets the job done

I have the Hybrid Pro Rage and like it. It's light and easy to take on and off, you can run whatever belts you want. According to the test data it provides superior side impact protection as well. When I used it last week, it was comfortable to wear strapped in the car, though it was a little tricky when trying to get out of the car with it on.

I have the Hybrid pro rage also.  I really like how comfortable it is, but I am concerned about getting out the the car quickly if needed.  The belts hook into it to hold it down and don't come out real easy.  I'm thinking of selling it and getting the Necks gen.

FYI on the Hybrid Pro Rage, there are two versions. One that hooks into belts and  one that does not. I have the version that does not hook in the belts. My issue with getting out was that the back of  it hits my seats head support when I get out. More annoying than dangerous.

I still use the Dfender and Love it. I still wish they made it but I heard that HANS sued them.

I have the Defender also and love it.  I believe the Nexgen is made kind of like the defender was.

I'll second the defender.  Have used mine for two years and Love it.  The necksgen looks just about identical to the defender with a few tweaks.

I also still use a defender. I'll agree the necksgen looks very similar.
