I think that I may be able to help you with this.
I use a Simpson hybrid Hans for rallying, and a 20deg. Normal Hans for racing (and some rallying) in saloon type cars. I haven’t used them competitively in my Hawk replica but I agree with Craig’s views and having tried sitting in my car I offer the following advice.

Getting any helmet / Hans on in a car is very awkward, and in a Stratos it’s almost impossible. You can only do it if you lean right over the passenger seat. So, you need to put both on outside the car and then get in, no problem in an Escort or Holden saloon, but not easy in a Stratos, although the Hybrid system is easier than the fixed version, and this is with an open face helmet and I have real concerns that a full face may not allow you to bend your head enough to get in!

In short your best option is a hybrid version with an open face helmet, although if you end up using these on a road event, you will have to use a hybrid because there is simply no room to store a fixed device and a helmet in the car. I know that this is why Steve Perez has to use them.

it is also worth remembering that in competition you must have Hans specific harnesses with 2” shoulder straps, and although this may not apply to track days, 3” shoulder belts slip off the locating lugs on Hans devises and are not a good idea.

Basically the Hans devise is literally a pain in the neck and you will curse them every time you use them, although you will get slightly used to them with practice, and it might just save your life.

Hope this helps.
