    cheap Simpson head restraint

    I looked up the $495 device, on the Simpson website, it is the original hutchins device. They are the makers of the R3 device, which they came up with as a result of sactioning bodies saying the soft version is not a suffcient restraint device. I believe this device is not SFI certified. I believe the hans is the best designed device on the market, simply because they are the only one that places the tethers in the line of action of head movement in the event of an impact.
