HANS III Model 20 Large PA ST

The HANS III Model 20 Large PA ST is a professional-grade head and neck support system designed to reduce neck strain and injury risk during high-impact boating and watersports activities. Built to SFI 38.1 certification standards, this large-frame model combines a plastic construction with a sliding post tether and helmet anchor configuration, delivering reliable support for extended periods on the water where vibration, G-forces, and sudden directional changes place sustained stress on the cervical spine.

The HANS III Model 20 weighs 3.1 pounds and measures 13.7 × 4.2 × 15.8 inches, engineered to distribute load across the shoulders and torso rather than concentrating force on the neck alone. The sliding post tether system allows dynamic range of motion while the helmet anchor point ensures the device remains indexed and stable during aggressive maneuvering. SFI 38.1 certification confirms compliance with recognized safety performance standards for head-and-neck restraint systems. This configuration is particularly valuable in high-speed offshore applications, tournament fishing, and rescue operations where neck protection equipment has proven effective in reducing soft-tissue injury and cumulative fatigue.

The large size is sized for operators with proportionally larger frames or those wearing bulkier gear layups. Serious offshore anglers, patrol boat crews, and watersports professionals who spend hours at elevated speeds or in rough conditions benefit from the ergonomic load distribution and the proven track record of HANS devices in reducing neck-related injuries in dynamic environments. The helmet anchor integration makes the HANS III Model 20 compatible with standard maritime safety helmets, ensuring the support system works as an integrated package rather than as an isolated component.
