Are my tethers too long? No. The HANS Device comes properly adjusted for all drivers. Unless you have changed the tether length it is fine and will work in an impact.  When I put the device on, it rubs against my neck. Is that normal?  Yes. The front of the HANS Device is narrower to accommodate arm movement. Padding can be modified or removed - it does not affect the device’s performance.  What type of shoulder belts work best with a HANS Device?  Any SFI or FIA approved harness system works with the HANS Device. Two inch or three inch belts, as well as 5-6 or more multi-point systems are all fine.  Do shoulder belts slip off the HANS Device?  Properly mounted belts do not slip off the device. If shoulder belts will not stay securely on the device, you may not have the belt mounts properly located in your chassis.  I race on a short track at relatively low speeds. Do I need a HANS Device?  Yes. Serious head and neck injuries happen at impact speeds as low as 35mph. On short tracks with tight turns it is easy to be turned almost straight into the wall.  How do I care for my HANS device?  HANS Devices need almost no maintenance but should be kept clean and dry. To protect them, HANS Devices should be stored out of direct sunlight. They may be cleaned with soapy warm water. Ensure rubber top surfaces stay clean and free of wear. Tethers should be replaced after any major impact or every 5 years. Tethers carry dated labels. Check your helmet anchors for tightness occasionally.  What if my HANS Device is in an impact?  HANS Devices should be inspected periodically or after any impacts. Examine your device in bright sunlight and run your finger around the edges. Any sign of de-lamination, cracking or exposed composite material means the device has served its purpose and should be replaced.  How long are the SFI and FIA certifications acceptable?  Different race series may have different rules regarding age of certifications. SFI 38.1 requires recertifying your HANS every 5 years, and FIA 8858 certifications do not expire. Check our website or your race sanctioning body for more information.
