I had considered getting a Hans or similiar product because I tried one on last winter and really liked how it felt compared to my neckbrace, but after wreck this year and breaking collar bone, i don't think it would be very comforting to wear or feel very well the way it comes down in the front. the belts alone coming down drive me crazy now. Actually I am uncomfortable all the way around now, but i am Not sure of what tests have been done and what other injuries it leads to but it does look like a nice piece.
