Yep and the lay back is more expensive but the upright fiberglass one is the least expensive the SFI stickers now have an expiration date, helmet mods are simple, helmet skirt is a pain in the butt when fastening the helmet strap (May switch to a balaclava / head sock).
I would suggest the sliding teather option for super class racing.( you still can see better with a neck collar, but they are not as safe/effective.)
