    There are other head and neck restraint systems that offer greater lateral protection than the HANS brand H&N.

    Bill...spent $600 2 yrs ago on the HANS.Until 2 weeks ago, it looked like HANS was our only choice. What else is available now?

    Ive called Simpson Racing several times with questions about their Hybrid Rage and have been nothing but impressed with the replies and the knowledge of the sales staff they have answering the phones.

    No seat mods needed, side impact protection.

    Call for yourself (800)654-7223

    The Safety Solution - now Simpson - Hybrid line have been certified as SFI 38.1 compliant for a while now. I think one of the problems with discussions such as this are that people use as the acronym for head and neck systems (or head and neck restraint systems) 'HANS', when HANS really refers to a particular brand of head and neck restraint system. Adds to the confusion.
