FAQs
What is the main benefit of the HANS Device III?
The HANS Device III offers FIA-approved head and neck protection at a more affordable price point, featuring a lightweight polymer construction inspired by professional racing devices.
Do I need to buy helmet posts separately?
Yes, helmet posts/clips are not included with the HANS Device III and must be purchased separately to attach the device to your helmet.
Which recline angle should I choose?
A 20-degree recline is recommended for vehicles with a more upright seating position (like saloons and GT cars), while a 30-degree recline is suitable for vehicles with a more reclined seating position (like single-seaters and sports prototypes).
How do I determine the correct size?
Measure your neck circumference at the collarbone area. A Medium size fits up to 17 inches (43cm), and a Large size fits over 17 inches (43cm).
How much does the HANS Device III weigh?
The Medium size weighs approximately 800g, and the Large size weighs approximately 850g, including padding and tethers.
Is this device approved for all motorsport events?
Yes, the HANS Device III is FIA 8858-2010 approved, meeting the safety standards for most sanctioned motorsport events. However, always check specific event or series regulations.
Can I use this with any racing harness?
It is recommended to use the HANS Device III with harnesses that have 2"/3" or 2" wide shoulder straps for optimal fit and secure tethering. Check series-specific rules for harness width requirements.
Troubleshooting
Device feels uncomfortable or shifts during use.
Ensure the correct size has been selected and that the helmet posts/clips and tethers are properly fitted. Check that the shoulder straps of your harness are the recommended width and correctly positioned.
Tethers feel restrictive.
Verify that the sliding tethers are correctly installed and functioning smoothly. Ensure the helmet posts/clips are positioned appropriately on the helmet.
Device appears worn or damaged.
Discontinue use immediately and inspect for cracks, fraying tethers, or damaged padding. Contact the manufacturer or a qualified dealer for inspection or replacement if necessary.
