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.

Under 12 Inches - Size Extra Small (XS) (For people under 100 lbs.)
12 to 15 Inches - Size Small (S)
15 to 18 Inches - Size Medium (M) (Called size REGULAR on older models)
Over 18 Inches - Size Large (L)
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 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. If you prefer we will install the anchors for you as an extra cost option. Please select this service in Parts and Accessories to let us know you prefer this.

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.
