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.

Simpson Hybrid S HNR Details Manufacturer: Simpson Manufacturer part number: SIM-HYS-CUSTOM Rating: FIA 8858-2010 Works with 3 way factory belts Works with racing 4/5/6/7 way racing harness High quality carbon fiber construction Low profile. No high back to hook on the bars on exit Multiple load paths to dissipate head loads Buckle attachment in front. No bulky straps underneath Full Carbon Fiber "S" Model Connects to standard Hans Post Anchors, not included Legal for NASA, PCA, SCCA, BMWCCA, SCCA Pro, IMSA, SRO, NHRA Simpson Hybrid S Custom Female Fit - Works with 3 Way Belt Benefits. The Hybrid S Head Restraint By Simpson is Now the Only Head Restraint Approved for 3-point harnesses that is also FIA approved. This provides added protection for Driving Instructors, Auto Manufacturing Test Engineers, and other cars with 3-point harnesses. Simpson's top concern is safety. DE drivers and DE Instructors can now be safe while in a student's car using only a 3 way seat belt. Factory Seat Belts with a Neck Restraint were not compatible until the Simpson Hybrid Nascar Approved Head And Neck Restraint became FIA approved. Stay safe in every vehicle. For the BEST protection while on a racetrack, we suggest a Full-Containment Cockpit System that includes a Full Containment Seat, Snell rated Helmet, FIA or SFI approved Head Restraint, and 7 point seatbelt harness system.

Simpson Hybrid S 3-Point Head and Neck Restraint The Hybrid S Head Restraint is FIA and SFI approved (when worn with a multi-point harness system) and is tested and shown to be compatible with 3-point harnesses used by Car Club enthusiasts and High Performance Driving Experiences. This allows Driving Instructors, Auto Manufacturing Test Engineers, and others in cars with 3-point harnesses to have added protection. We are pleased to offer this great option for increased protection to this sector of the market. Bear in mind, however, that on a racetrack the best protection we believe is a Full-Containment Cockpit System that includes a full containment seat, Snell SA2015 or FIA 8860 rated helmet, FIA or SFI approved head restraint, and 6- or 7-point racing harness system. SIMPSON HYBRID S 3-POINT HNR OPTIONS Select your size based on the size chart DiscoveryParts only carries this device with standard HANS post anchor clips as they're lightweight and easy to attach/detach SIMPSON HYBRID S 3-POINT HNR FEATURES FIA and SFI Approved with 5-, 6- and 7-point harness systems FMVSS Tested for use with 3-point OEM belt system High quality carbon fiber construction Low profile, no high back to hook on the roll bars, etc. in emergency exit Multiple load paths to dissipate head loads Buckle attachment in front, no bulky straps underneath SIMPSON HYBRID S 3-POINT HNR INSTALLATION To use a Hybrid S with a 3-point seat belt system, the SAS (Seatbelt Anchoring System) is not used. (The SAS strap anchor loops hook into the buckle of a 5-, 6- or 7-point racing harness.) Have the wearer put on the Hybrid S and get into the driver's seat. Follow the instructions on fitting the device to the wearer. Engage the 3-point seat belt and sit in the normal driving position. Have a helper apply gentle pressure to the top of the device, keeping the device stable during tether adjustment. The device should be in a comfortable position behind the driver back, against the seat cushion. With the helper holding the device and the driver looking straight forward, hold the triangulated tether up to the anchors on the driver helmet. Adjust the side tethers so that the end fitting can be easily inserted into the helmet anchor without pulling down on the helmet. A comfortable adjustment on the side tether is to have about 1" of slack in the tethers. With the helper still holding the device down and the driver looking straight ahead, adjust the rear tethers so that there is 1"to 1.5" of slack. Test the amount of head movement by moving the head straight forward. The driver should have 1" to 2" of forward head movement before the slack is taken out of the tether. Remember when checking this not to rotate the head down; translate it straight forward. This should allow for plenty of head movement on track. AIRBAG USE WITH SIMPSON HYBRID S 3-POINT HNR No one should unhook or disable the airbag system installed by the auto manufacturer or their authorized installer. Outside experts in Detroit have confirmed this and require their test engineers to use the Hybrid S in conjunction with the airbag in a 3-point system. Simpson agrees that the airbag and Hybrid S work together to increase protection in frontal crashes.
