HANS has also introduced a new "Vision Plus Advantage" kit with a sliding tether system to allow 100% mobility side to side - more than any other head & neck restraint on the market. Available in standard version only, Quick Disconnects to probably follow. Upgrade with a hans purchase is $15 additional, the Vision kit to upgrade your existing device is $75 and includes tethers, tether carriers and nut washers that need replaced on the posts in the helmet.

In the case of situations where you have to reenter the course, need to see the flaggers, and whatever else that may come up on course, the vision advantage tethers will be very useful.
I'm putting the new tethers on my HANS when they are released for that and other reasons.

You need your head on a swivel to guarantee a safe reentry, and that's impossible with the standard HANS tethers.

Yep,
Now I have learned to turn the entire car to see the flagger or traffic. Still I consider it a small price to pay. In a practice or qualifying session what is the rush to get back on track? Really there is none so you can putz around to find a place you can see. If during a race you go off bad enough to need to use the flaggers to get back on you would have been pretty far back anyway. You may just be better off taking a extra 5-6 seconds to clear your head and get back on track rather than trying storm back on to "make up ground".

Agreed. The good news is that the new HANS tethers will alleviate this limitation. Besides, the only time it really matters is during a race, and then it REALLY matters.

Flying dog: Long been a fan. Having one right now, as a matter of fact. <salute>
Circuit Motorsports: You have a website?
I'm one up on y'all. I bought an R3 HNR a couple weeks ago. I think I managed to do it 5min before all the prices came down. Eat my dust.
