HANS Device, Who's using one? Options

[nine14cats]

I'm thinking of buying a HANS Device for the track.

Anyone using one? How does it feel when in the car? How restrictive?

Thanks,

Hi Jay,

Thanks for participating on the site....it's great when someone who makes the products chimes in.

One question I have is that on the HANS site (hansdevice.com), you mention 3 inch shoulder belts are fine. When I read the Schroth site about their belts used with a HANS, they recommend a 2 inch shoulder belt and infer that several organizations (FIA, CART, and soon to be NASCAR) have changed rules to allow 2 inch shoulder belts.

Is this a valid statement?

I've already contacted our local PCA racing organization to get their take on it as Porsche Club America mandates 3 inch belts in our region. My wife is much smaller than I am, and since we share a car we will need 2 HANS devices to provide the proper fit. But the 3 inch belts cover most of her shoulder area, so I can see why a 2 inch belt may work better to locate the device on a smaller person.

Please share your thoughts.

Thanks!
