Default Team Tech vs. Schroth Harnesses

I've searched, but am not satisfied with opinions comparing these two specific harnesses.

I understand most people have Schroth 6 point harnesses in their GT3/GT3RSs. Any opinions compared to the Team Tech harness (which has sternum support as well)??

Not sure which way to go...

Thanks.

Can't go wrong with Schroth...Porsche uses them as do most race teams. Clark at Apex Performance which is a forum sponsor is where to get them...Apex is awesome to del with and has great prices for rennlisters

I've used and liked both.
The Team Techs get a bit "bulky" in a street car. Especially the sternum pad and strap. Also, the belts and hardware just seem larger and stiffer. You can have the Team Techs custom built if you're trying to do something trick with color or fitment.
If you are running factory seats and Tech' bar, the Schroth belts are an easy solution. Both are high quality, good gear.

Schroth hands down.

any other harness looks "dirty" in a GT3

I've had both. TeamTech are okay, Schroth are great.

Team Tech is comfortable but agree with MSRPorsche about the Schroth being better. With the extra pads they are bulky and if you ever need to get out of the car in a hurry - it's one more thing you need to deal with.

FWIW - The hardware on the Schroth seems a lot more solid and allows you to get the belts much tighter with less work.

I disagree with the Schroth camp. I've had both and the Teamtechs are much more comfortable. I know of at least one incident where the driver wearing a Teamtech came out much better, in terms of bruising, than the passenger wearing a more basic belt (don't know if it was Schroth.) Also, I hated the shoulder strap buckles on the Schroths - everything on the Teamtechs seemed to operate much more smoothly.

Went with Schroth GT3 belts for HANS...couldn't stray away from them since they are OEM on GT3 Cup...

BTW, everyone on this forum is bad for my wallet. I was happy with my "regular" GT3. Now my garage houses a GMG WC roll bar, 2 Schroth HANS belts and submounts, GT2 bucket seats, a new SA 2010 helmet, and a new HANS Sport II. What's next? A 991 GT3 RS?

Tell me about it.

My car was just fine before I met Rennlist. My car is Clubsport option so I've already got the bar, seats and harness.

Now I've got a Sharkwerks bypass, rear link kit and control arms, Guard diff, Racelogic lap timer, LWFW, RS crank pulley, Superforgiata wheels for my track tires, MPSCs, RS29's on my brakes, Brembo III's for my discs... I get wheel alignments like every track day, I've got a funky pressure gauge.. just did a back-of-envelope and its $22k+ worth of stuff. Without entry fees, alignment costs, and other stuff that I just can't think of. Yikes!

3k-8k worth of suspension bits, 3k for Guard diff, the "need" for a third set of wheels and a trailer. That's the trend I am seeing.
