HELMET
ANCHOR
INSTALLATION

attaches
to your helmet
via two metal
anchors.
90% of our
customers
install their
own anchors
- all you
need is a
1/4 inch drill
and measuring
tape. Devices
come with
instructions
plus a special
installation
tool. If
you prefer
we will install
the anchors
for you as
an extra cost
option. Please
select this
service in
Parts and
Accessories
to let us
know you prefer
this.
DIFFERENT
SERIES
Some
models
are available
in different
series.
The only
difference
is weight
- all HANS
Devices
offer
the same
class-leading
protection.
The Professional
Series
weighs
about 1
pound and
the Sport
Series
weighs
about 2.25
pounds.
Weights
vary due
to size
and accesssories.

The
Latest From hans® |
New Sliding Tethers with Quick Click Quick Release - Hans has released
the new Sliding Tethers with Quick Release. Called the Vision Advantage Plus, these Quick Click Sliding Tethers are truly the best of both worlds.
New Sport Series - The Professional and Extra models are made of hand layed-up carbonfibre and are hollow to reduce weight. The Sport model uses a new process which involves injection molding the solid carbon fiber frame. Rigorous testing has shown no reduction in strength, however the weight of the Sport Model is just under two pounds. The Professional and Extra Models weight just over a pound and about 1.5 pound respectively.
hans® Devices have been available in 3 styles, thought the Extra Series has been discontinued.
The
Professional Series features
High Modulous Carbon Fiber
for high strength and
low weight.
The
Sport Series features
injection molded construction. The
level of protection for
the Sport Series is the
same as the Professional
Series. The
major difference is that
the Professional Series
is approximately 1.4 pounds
lighter than the same
size version in the Sport
Series.

Sport Series is now available
in 30 as well as 20 angle

has been discontinued. |
