CHOOSING YOUR HANS® Device

The Model 20 fits upright seating positions and is our most popular device. Size Medium is our most popular size and fits neck sizes between 15" and 18".

1. SEATBACK ANGLE: For comfort the HANS® device should match the angle of your seatback.

• MODEL 20 - UPRIGHT SEAT
  NASCAR, Busch, Sprint, Midget, Quarter Midget, Drag, Modified, Bandalero etc. Sportscars including Porsche, BMW, Corvette, Honda, Viper etc. 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. Some marine applications. 30 Degree Hans is only available in Medium or Large sizes.
• MODEL 40 - RECLINED SEAT
  The Model 40 is a rare application and fits extremely reclined seats such as Vintage FF. MOST PEOPLE WHO BUY A 40 RETURN IT FOR A MODEL 30. Please measure your seat (use an angle meter available at DIY-type stores) before ordering. Only available in Professional models

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

• Up to 12 1/2 Inches - Size Extra Small(XS)
• 13 to 14 1/2 Inches - Size Small (S)
• 15 to 17 1/2 Inches - Size Medium (M) (Called size REGULAR on some models)
• 18 to 20 1/2 Inches - Size Large (L)
• Above 21 Inches - Size Extra Large(XL)

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. 85% of our 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.

4. PROFESSIONAL OR EXTRA VERSIONS:
Some models are available in lightweight (Professional) and regular (Extra) versions. The only difference is weight - there is no performance difference between the versions.
