New FIA Helmet And HANS Device Packages For 2024

Racewear news, November 2023

We have put together a new set of motorsport packages that pair an FIA helmet with a HANS device, with the HANS posts sorted, ready for the 2024 season. They cover the brands we sell most of: Bell, OMP, Sparco and Zamp helmets, with head and neck restraints from Schroth and Simpson.

To help people get ready for the new year, the helmet and HANS packages now carry a 10% discount. Here is what is in them and how to choose one.

  • New packages pair an FIA helmet with a HANS device
  • Helmets from Bell, OMP, Sparco and Zamp
  • Standard and hybrid head and neck restraints, including Schroth and Simpson
  • Choose your own helmet size and HANS size in each package
  • 10% off the helmet and HANS packages ahead of the 2024 season
  • Stilo and Sparco helmets now offer matching bundle items at checkout

What the new packages are

A helmet and a head and neck restraint are the two pieces of kit that protect your head and neck, and most circuit racing and a lot of other UK motorsport now asks for both. They also have to work together: the HANS device clips to posts on the helmet, so the helmet needs the posts fitted and the tethers need to suit them.

Our new packages take that step out of it. Each one pairs an FIA approved helmet with a HANS device that suits it, and the helmets we stock and display in the showroom can go out straight away or be collected. In every package you pick the helmet size and the HANS size separately, so the fit is right for you on both.

The brands in the range

The helmets come from Bell, OMP, Sparco and Zamp, which between them cover open face and full face designs for circuit racing, rallying and hillclimbs.

On the restraint side the range includes both standard HANS devices and hybrid designs. Schroth make standard HANS devices that sit over the shoulders, and Simpson make the Hybrid, which rests on the back and shoulders in place of over the collarbones.

If you are not sure whether a standard HANS or a hybrid suits your car and seat, our guide to which HANS device you need explains the angles and the sizes.

Bundle items on Stilo and Sparco helmets

If you would rather choose a helmet on its own first, every Stilo and Sparco helmet on the site now has bundle items attached at checkout. These are items picked to suit that helmet: HANS devices that work with it, and balaclavas to wear underneath.

Garreth’s advice is simple. Get the helmet size right first, then match the HANS device to your seating position. Our guide to measuring for a helmet is the place to start, and the showroom has helmets on display to try on.
