Default 5 point harness

My Corbeau 5 point expired and I thought I would see what brand seems to work for most guys. See if I just want to re certify or buy a new one. What do you use and why? Is it the comfort, reliability, or price? Or are they all pretty much the same? I've only used the Corbeau so I my experience ends there. Thanks!

I've found them all to be about the same quality and price. I went with G-Force. I 'd say just go with whatever company you can get the best price on.

Yeah, Corbeau said it would be $65 to re certify or they would sell me a new one for $99. Which isn't bad since they are $150. Just not sure what I would do with two though.

I have simpson camlocks. I think you pay for the simpson name though. The camlocks are the way to go in my opinion though.

We have some Stroud Camlocks in stock. They are black w/ bolt on attachments. If that's not the style or color that your want, we can order whatever you need directly from Stroud. Call me at the shop if you're interested. Shop number is 225-673-3533.

If the belts are punched Sept 2006 do they expire on Sept 1st or are they good through Sept? Anyone know for sure?

expire at end of month. I always buy new belts since I use the RJS reg. $70 belts, and sell the used ones for $20-25 on Ebay to a dune buggy driver or something. No time without belts and they're fresh.
