I am in the market for a hans device right now and I have been noticing that they are a bit steep in the price range. Were have people been buying their hans-devices from and how much.

Thanks

BTW- No lame *** comments like (how much is your life worth to you)

 

HANS, like Hoosiers, are at a fixed price. There was a holiday sell for the sport version but that's gone now. Best bet is to get it from whomever supports your club/region.

 

Look at NASA a SCCA web sites for classified sections and you may find a used one for a bit less.

 

I know saferacer.com carries them, they aren't cheap though. Finding a used one is probably your best bet if your looking to save some cash.

 

Thanks guys that kindof what I figured I have been searching around a bit and it does seem that the prices are set no matter were you go.

 

the device is expensive. I have a helmet with a hans attachment, but after looking at their prices, wow-steep.

 

When shopping, pay attention the actual model you are being quoted for.

The sport has been reduced in price by $50 since PRI and the Sport II has been introduced for stock car guys- at the old sport price.
Then most dealers will offer the sliding tether option, which is almost always stocked, and that costs $25 more.

Yes HANS does have strict MAP pricing- service is what should sway your descision.

 

It's on my list too - just haven't pulled the trigger yet.

 

If you instruct, kart, or do other motorsports where you may not have a 4/5/6pt harness, look into the Leatt Brace Moto R (the auto racing version). Works like a HANS, but it doesn't absolutely require belts. I use a HANS, Schroth HANS belts and a halo seat in my track car, but if I was to buy a neck brace tomorrow it would be a Leatt Brace. I've been out on track in cars with just factory belts and obviously my HANS is useless. I'd still like to protect my neck in those situations.

 

I think summitracing sells them...

 

Get the new design where the shoulder part has a little tip both side.
Makes your life much easier. Also do not get the fixed. Stripes ones.

Discovery parts is a great place for racing stuff. Get the sliding tethers for sure!

 

Thanks for the advice since I really dont want to spend the 700 bucks TWICE, but at the same time the thought of anything going wrong with the HP i have now is kind of scary so I think I am just going to bite the bullet on this one.

 

i would get the CF one. I used both, the difference is huge after an hour LOL

 

This. Less weight = driver comfort = better reactions.
