Choosing and Fitting Your HANS® Device

It's easy to find the right HANS® for you. 1. SEATBACK ANGLE For comfort the HANS® should match the angle of your seatback.
	MODEL 10 - EXTREME UPRIGHT SEAT If you sit very upright and cannot get comfortable with a Model 20 try this Model.
	MODEL 20 - UPRIGHT SEAT All sedans including NASCAR, Busch, Sprint, Midget, Quarter Midget, Drag, Modified, Bandalero and similar. All sportscars including Porsche, BMW, Corvette, Honda, Viper etc. All Panoz Racing Series cars. Marine applications including UIM and Drag Boats.
	MODEL 30 - SEMI RECLINED SEAT Formula Mazda, Atlantic, Infiniti Pro, Barber Dodge, IRL, C/D Sports Racer, Formula 1 and similar.
	MODEL 40 - RECLINED SEAT The Model 40 is a rare application and fits extremely reclined seats such as Vintage FF. Many people who buy a Model 40 return it for a Model 30. Please measure your seat (use an angle meter available at DIY-type stores) before ordering.

2. NECKSIZE
The width of the HANS® collar is sized to fit your neck or shirt collar size.

So a person with a 16" neck driving a Corvette would use a HANS® 20M.
It's as easy as that!

3. HELMET ANCHOR INSTALLATION
The HANS® attaches to your helmet via two metal anchors. 90% of customers install their own anchors - all you need is a 1/4 inch drill and measuring tape. Devices come with instructions plus a special installation tool. You can select from six different colors (blue, yellow, black, gold, red or natural). If you prefer we will install the anchors for you as an extra cost option.

4. PROFESSIONAL and ECONOMY VERSIONS
Some models are available in lightweight (Professional) and regular (Economy) versions.
The only difference is weight - about 6 - 8 ounces depending on size. There is no performance difference between the versions.

5. Type of tethers
All helmets come with standard polyester tethers which can be updated to quick disconnect tethers at the time of purchase or after the fact. The quick disconnect tethers make it easier for some people to disconnect the helmet from the HANS device. Click here to see the quick disconnect tethers.
