Only the Sport I and Pro come in 30 deg..... for us big(ger) guys.

I'll check out the Sport I in Lrg and 30 deg, as Chris suggested.

what other angles do they carry if not the 30degree version?

Hanz II comes in certain sizes only ~ I was told. Does anyone know ?

1gunner thanks for posting this info.

lopro, the anchors come with the Hanzs. One set. You specify if you want the quick release or the standard release. Quick release has two stings that hang down. They rest over the front of your shoulder. If you need to disconnect then you only have to reach up to the top of your chest and pull the straps. With the standard posts you have to reach up to your helmet, and behind you, to slide the Hanzs strap back towards the rear. If your helmet is not predrilled for Hanzs then you have to drill the holes. Instructions are included. Most helmet vendors will also sell you anchors and install them. Think the average price is $55. But your Hanzs will come with anchors in the box.

Peter, I got the Sport II last year. A bit more $$ but the same certification as the I and Pro + rounded edges.

Canadian Motorsports Expo is being held this weekend in Toronto, and there are a lot of good buys to be had. Purchased my HANS there and saved the GST.

You can also get the cf if you want bling

I was looking in the bottom of my helmet box and they are sitting there hiding from me.

I guess I have a set of post anchors - Just need the hanz.

Thanks Francois, my only concern is that the Sport II doesn't come in a 30 deg fitting... which is recommended for those of us over 200lbs.

The extra savings from "NOT" splurging on CF bling will be put into a new SA 2010 helmet... looking at Stilo ST4 GTW.

For those of you on the fence, I find driving with the Hans more comfortable than not wearing it as the shoulder straps don't dig into my collarbone. Add in the safety benefit and wearing one becomes a no brainer.

Oh and you MUST get the sliding tethers. The fixed are a PITA.

You all should really look at Safety Solutions R3 Rage. Especially those of you that instruct in 3 point belt students cars. The R3 can be used in either 6 point harness or 3 point road car seat belts. This is really the best piece for drivers like us.

@ Lopro: I got mine from CSC Racing www.cscracing.com They seem to be one of the bigger importers/sellers of HANS devices in the GTA.

I think that they all come with sliding tethers now.
