Trying to figure out what the most comfortable, but still effective, restraint
system is for the type of wheeling we enjoy. We normally do crawling in Arkansas, Missouri, etc. where almost everything is up or down, bouncy, and usually off-camber. We also get in and out of our Jeeps a lot which means buckle/unbuckle 15+ times a day. We already have good CORBEAU seats.
The perfect system would 1) Be comfortable 2) Be easy and quick to get in and out of 3) Provide support to keep you upright when off camber (give your back/abdominal a little break) 4) and keep you safe in the event of a roll over.
We are still using the stock 3 point seatbelt which can be uncomfortable and a PITA. The shoulder strap can get up into your neck. The self tightening makes it gradually tighten on you which usually coincides with a slope that locks it and tries to strangle you.
I have seen people use just a lap belt - usually a 3” racing harness style that buckles in the middle that makes it easy and quick to buckle/unbuckle and avoids the shoulder strap issues. Won’t keep your upper body from flailing around and give no extra support when off-camber.
The other option is a full harness with shoulder straps. The shoulder straps would definitely keep you from flailing around and might give that extra support off-camber? I guess you can also just use the lap belt on flat stuff and hook the shoulder straps when needed?
Anybody found the perfect solution?
