"Schroth Quickfit removable 4-point harness" By Tony Danza
RedRobin:
....
Schroth Quickfit belt got fitted today and I drove home about 170 miles wearing it - Very comfortable and especially good when heavy braking.
They are TUV approved and so perfectly good for everyday road use if you want. I was just familiarising myself with them.
tony_danza:
Good stuff.
Have you bothered with a set of harness pads, or are you ok?? I find them quite comfy without.
RedRobin:
^^^^
No harness pads. I was just wearing a T-shirt (and trousers!) and found the harness comfortable. A little tricky when reversing but fortunately helped by my Recaro's giving a more open view to side-rear.
The trouble I can foresee is preferring them and wanting to use them all the time. I think I might investigate devising a way of clipping them out of the way so I can use the oem safety belt without completely removing the Schroth harness.
tony_danza:
I'd say just swing it over both seat shoulders and fasten it back together around the back, but it might mark your seat backs??
Also, forgot to mention, make sure the lap section is nice and low in position - you don't want to submarine out of the seat in the event of a crash. Should be where a normal 3 pointer sits, under the belly!!

To 'park' it when not in use but leaving it in the car, at the front it easily sits down the sides: Door side and in the space under the armrest as photo : -
At the back it can either be left attached : -
Or left loose if a passenger doesn't mind it : -
Obviously this suits Recaro's or slotted seats very well.
Thanks for the tip about 'submarining' - At the moment the lap section is across my navel - I'll check that aspect when next in my car.
I wasn't intending to leave the Schroth in my car but decided I should get familiar with it before driving the Nordschleife. However, for longer journeys in which there are always opportunities for safe spirited driving I'm inclined to want to wear the Schroth. Perhaps its the novelty but it does add yet another dimension to the feel of driving.
This is a really good find, Mike - :drinking: And perfect timing! :happy2:
