I have a Kirkey seat with wings around my ribcage. It doesn't have
the shoulder wings like the Nascar seats have (and THAT is the way to
go from a safety standpoint), but I like it. Uncle Jack hated wings
like that so he bought a Kirkey "Drag" seat. That doesn't have the
wings and looks pretty nice. And, it's cheap.
Regarding the Hans issue - I have a high back seat and have no issue
with it interfering with my HANS device. Of course I have a little
more built in padding than some (most) too, so that may be a
factor. :) I did have to make the shoulder belt slot much larger to
get the angle of the seat belt over the HANS device to work well.
