HANS Device:
Hybrid devices manufactured by Simpson are the only FIA-approved head & neck restraints on the market that protect during front, offset, and side impacts. Specially designed for swiftly exiting the car without the danger of getting caught in other gear, the Hybrid Sport Head & Neck Restraint rests on your back and shoulders, to provide enhanced comfort and maneuverability, instead of over the chest or collarbone which is commonly used with more traditional HANS devices. This Hybrid Pro Rage model is manufactured from composite materials to create a durable and protective device at an affordable price.
This product is supplied ready to fit your existing FIA HANS posts, however, it can be provided with optional M61 quick-release tethers which are fitted in place of your original HANS posts.
