Hi Rich,

Hans are very specific to the user so its worth going to a motorsport store and trying a couple. Unfortunately its similar to helmets, different brands fit different people better.

Hi Rich

Depending on your needs, you might also want to explore a Simpson Hybrid that offers a degree of lateral protection and doesn’t have the 20 / 30 degree issue. (Disclaimer - I haven’t tried either but came across the Simpson device while reading around).

Let’s us know how you get on. I think there are a few people looking into HANS for track days.

I use a Simpson Hybrid (although in a different car brand as I haven't got an Ariel yet!) and although it is a bit of a faff, attaching it to the helmet each time I go out, it is very comfortabe to use and I like the idea of some lateral protection.

I could leave it attached to the helmet, to be fair, but I chose to clip it in each time with the quick release fastenings.

If you have harnesses, I can't see any reason not to use one.

The Hans device fits well with the helmet and while sat in the car 👍

I have requested one from Santa. Will see if he has done his research in due course
