Jon, you're misunderstanding the periscope we're talking about. Your head is still tilted forward but you are looking slightly up from horizontal to the ground level & it's really very natural. It's common for long tanks to do a windshield/window in the nose, this is just a different variation of that same driving position. It seems you are under the impression the driver is looking straight up (vertical) & thats not the case.

Thanks Sid, yep different than I was thinking.

Looks like there's another manufacturer in the market.

Looks a lot like the DefNder?

I have sent them an enquiry re lay down seating.

I was talking to DJ as well, sweating on them getting certification.
Their HANS device is gone from their website & replies to emails on the subject have dried up.



You are wrong on this. The Unit Stainless was talking about is still produced by DJ.

That new one that you linked  has some interesting features.

My bad assumption sorry.
Based on; they pulled it from their site for a couple months & stopped giving me updates on certification, then didn't reply to follow up queries on certification progress.
