It's actually neck size. According to the Hans chart, the Medium size is for necks from 14" to 17" (I'm a 16 1/2).

OK, so at 15.5" this would be a good fit?

What would shipping be to 77095, and would you take PayPal?

Better yet, don't hit anything ON the track with it! I was talking to a friend of mine who races Formula 3000. He was just down in Savanah and on a cool down lap lost grip and slid into a wall at 128 mph. He walked away. He credits the HANS with saving his life; he says if he did not have the HANS, he'd either be pushing up daisies or spending the rest of his life eating through a straw.

I got a HANS 2 years ago. It's well worth the money. And for the recreational driver, the less expensive sports model makes it even more affordable. Just get one, if you spend any time at all on the track.

Darn - Wish that was a large and I would take it in a minute. Spouse has dictated that I will have one before the next track event. I agree so am in the process now.

Yes. There's a template provided and I'm told it's very easy to do, but I let Discovery Parts do it for me when I picked it up at their trailer at RA last weekend.

easy mod - most new helmets have the holes - the one I bought last weekend had the anchors.

Thanks to all that replied. Several of you wanted it. I hope you understand that it's much easier with a local buyer. I have one who's coming Wednesday. If he doesn't take it, I'll be in touch with those who have pm'd me.

Thank you.
