Default HANS Adjustable

Who has one? Too new? Downsides? Probably not much point if you don't race in more than one type of vehicle. But it would certainly take the guesswork out of choosing the correct angle for those of us that don't have a retailer close-by to try on different sizes (i.e. me).

Not yet approved for NASCAR or FIA homologation, but it is SFI 38.1 approved. For those of us who race GT and sports racing or formula cars, this is great!

Nascar has no reason to approve it as they are set in the seating position. FIA is just a matter of crossing the T's and dotting the I's.

Interesting reception so far after the way many HANS people reacted to the DefNder's adjustability......

I can see it if you're switching between production-based and formula-style cars.

The only time my HANS didn't fit in a car, I just borrowed one. Hasn't happened since.

I think it's a pretty niche product even in our world.
