Head and neck restraint
- Thread starter 1418
- Start date
I have a hans pro, one nice thing to add is the 2" shoulder belts, keeps them on the hans better. You can only do this if you are using a hans ALL the time. If you ever plan on using the belts with out the hans, you have to stick with the 3". Also would suggest the sliding teather. I have not used it yet, but sure seems to solve the side view issue.

I use the HANS with the sliding tether. Helps alot with looking sideways when exiting the pits or in tight turns (visually tracking the apex etc.)

I have been using for years the Hans Device, I have switched to the R-3, comes with a pad for your seat and feels good not the same restraint from side to side. The saftey factor is there as well. Good Luck, Manny why don't you come out and play at Sebring, the information for the dates are listed on www.narraonline.com this is a new Series and you get lot's of track time and cost is $595 for the weekend.

Manny, some places sell a soft collar to go around your neck instead of the Hans device. Try upr.com. The people at Arai will install the Hans clips on your helmet, but you have to send it to PA. I'll PM the address later tonight. They also can install the visor from the open face Arai helmet. Now that the holidays are over, I'm going to have it done so if I puke, I won't aspirate.

The R 3 uses a pad on the seat to leave a spece for the brace that runs down the back. It requires fitting the pad on the seat and positioning the seat to account for it. It also makes it harder to switch back and forth between street and track use. I don't find it very comfortable.
I much prefer the Hans device. I use a Team Tech harness with 3 ince shoulder straps. It has an additional strap on the harness that keeps the two shoulder straps together so they can not come of the Hans even in a side impact. It also has both a groin and sternum pad to help dissapate any forces for less bruising. These guys make the best harness I have ever seen or used. It can also be uses as a six point with no sub straps to have to deal with. the anti-sub restraint comes from two leg straps that go around the legs like a climbing harness. They attach to the lap belts so no tie down needed in the bottom of the car or any holes needed in the seat.
The combonation of Hans and Team Tech really work well.
