FIND YOUR SIZE
Once you’ve settled on the device you
want, you’ll need to choose the right
size for your neck. HANS Performance
and Simpson Racing provide this sizing
chart as a starting point. Although
you may fit a few different sizes, your
comfort is ultimately the deciding
factor.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT ANGLE
PICK YOUR ANCHOR AND TETHER
Next, you’ll need to narrow down your
choice by matching your specific HANS
Device to your seat angle. Some are
available with two options; others come
with three options. Depending on which
model of HANS Device you select, here
are your options:
• 0-10 degree angle: commonly used in
Sprint Cars
• 20-degree angle: commonly used
Modified, FIA, Stock Cars, or Sprints
• 30-degree angle: intended for racers
weighing 200 pounds or more
Finally, you’ll have to choose an anchoring system to attach the
device to your helmet.
Most competition-approved helmets now come pre-drilled for
HANS Devices. If yours does not, you’ll need to drill holes in the
proper locations using the instructions available with your helmet.
Depending on the model you’ve chosen, you can typically get your
HANS Device with post anchors or quick-click anchors to secure the
tether to your helmet. HANS now offers sliding tethers for each
model, giving you greater side-to-side vision and freedom when
driving.
