Hans III 30deg Med PA SFI 38.1

The Hans III 30deg Med PA SFI 38.1 is a professional-grade head and neck support system engineered for high-performance boating, powerboat racing, and extreme water sports where sudden acceleration, deceleration, and lateral forces place significant stress on the cervical spine. Built to SFI 38.1 safety certification standards, this device protects drivers and operators during rapid maneuvers, wakeboarding tows, and competitive racing conditions where neck strain and injury risk are elevated.

The Hans III incorporates a 30-degree geometry design paired with medium padding and a sliding post tether system that allows controlled head motion while preventing dangerous hyperextension and lateral deflection. Carbon fiber construction keeps total weight at just 2.36 lbs, reducing fatigue during extended boating sessions while maintaining structural rigidity where it matters most. The helmet anchor point secures the device to standard racing helmets, creating a unified restraint system that distributes load across the shoulders and upper torso rather than concentrating force at the neck.

Serious boaters running high-horsepower vessels, tournament anglers in rough conditions, and water sports enthusiasts benefit most from SFI 38.1 certification and proven impact mitigation. Installation requires a compatible racing helmet and proper fitting to ensure the tether system engages correctly during lateral acceleration. The medium sizing and 30-degree configuration suit most adult operators; verify helmet compatibility before purchase to ensure the anchor point aligns with your specific headgear model.
