Head & Neck Restraints (HANS & FHR Devices)

A head and neck restraint is the highest-value safety purchase in motorsport: it addresses basilar skull fracture, the injury mechanism that made these devices mandatory across professional racing. We stock HANS, Stand 21 and Simpson devices in both FIA 8858-2010 and SFI 38.1 homologations, plus the anchor posts, tethers and padding that go with them.

Running stock three-point belts? Most devices need a 5-, 6- or 8-point harness to hold them in place — but Simpson's Hybrid range is certified for use with a standard three-point belt, which makes it the one option for an HPDE car that hasn't been caged and harnessed yet, and for DE instructors riding in student cars.

Reading a HANS listing. The number is the angle and the letter is the size. A 20 is the standard device; a 30 has the increased arm angle HANS recommends for a more reclined seating position, for broader chests, or when a standard device pushes against the back of your head. Each listing also names its connection: post anchors, or Quick Click anchors that unclip for easier entry and exit. The range runs from the HANS III, with its hollow injection-molded collar, to the carbon Pro Ultra Lite, which weighs under a pound, and the HANS Zero. The HANS III Youth is made for young racers and smaller frames.

Already have a device? Post anchor sets for HANS (M6 threaded helmets), Bell, Stilo and Stand 21, HANS sliding tethers and replacement padding are listed here too. The Stand 21 Club 3 ships without anchors, so add a set.

Not sure which angle or size you need? Get in touch and we'll match a device to your seating position and helmet.
