FAQs
What is the main advantage of the Pro Ultra Lite?
The primary advantage is its exceptionally low weight, making it the lightest FHR device on the market, which enhances driver comfort and reduces fatigue.
What does FIA 8858-2010 certification mean?
This certification indicates that the HANS device meets the rigorous safety performance standards set by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile for Front Head Restraint systems.
Is the 20-degree recline suitable for all race cars?
The 20-degree recline is optimized for vehicles with more upright seating positions, such as rally or saloon cars. It may not be ideal for cars with deeply reclined seats.
How do I know which size to order?
The device is available in Medium (up to 17" / 43cm collar size) and Large (over 17" / 43cm collar size). Measure your collar size to determine the correct fit.
Do I need special helmet posts?
Yes, the HANS device requires specific HANS helmet posts to be installed on your helmet. These are typically sold separately.
Can I use this device with any racing harness?
The HANS device is designed to work with standard racing harnesses. The shoulder straps of your harness should pass through the designated loops on the HANS device for proper function.
How much does the device weigh?
The HANS Pro Ultra Lite weighs approximately 550g for a Medium size and 580g for a Large size, including padding and tethers.
Troubleshooting

Ensure the helmet posts are securely attached to the helmet and that the tethers are correctly fastened to the posts.

Discomfort during use.
Ensure you have selected the correct size and recline angle for your body and seating position. Check that shoulder pads are correctly positioned.
