Hans/Dfender type head and neck protection is designed to work in a cockpit environment and in unison with hardness. > > 3 major issues I can see right off the bat with the Leatt’s STX being used in a cockpit (sitting) position are the scapula wings will pinch the back of the driver with the amount of pressure applied when harness is in place. The back helmet support that sticks out like a spoiler (profile view) will also impede with any bucket type race seat where the seat back is high. Also, depending on driving position, in a single seater application where the driver is pretty much laying down, the front support of the STX may very well be in the way of the chin of the helmet. Entirely accurate and what I was thinking myself, just still wanted to look into it regardless. In the end I may just have to bring the lay angle back up a bit to conform with one of the current hans angles even though this creates mandatory changes in body/roll hoop specs and min rollover clearances on the chassis. Was my big mistake for not taking this into account prior to getting this far in it. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/leatt-stx-on-road-neck-brace-video-intro/257278)._
