Theoretically HANS comes in a "small" size for neck sizes 13-15". I have a medium, which I've used for years, but my neck is around 14-14.5". I've noticed it digs into my chest a bit at times leaving me with bruises and I was wondering if a narrower small size might fix that?

The only problem is, nobody seems to actually sell it. They have super small, medium and large.

Does anyone have a small size? If so, was it meaningfully different from the medium?

Brian, I have a custom Hans that I no longer wear... It is a Jeff Gordon patern, it is older but I got it recerted and put sliding tethers on it. I bought a medium and it no longer hurts me squezing my neck through it like I had to with the Jeff Gordon one. I would be willing to sell it. I can take photos of it and measurements etc. to send to you.

Kyle, if you can take photos/measurements for me that would be great. I have an original-ish 2005 sport model (I also upgraded with sliding tethers). Glenn, you can buy mine for whatever I pay Kyle for his if we wind up trading. :)

The measurements are as follows at the most narrow place at opening it measures 3 3/4" wide, half way up it measures 5", widest area it measures 5 3/4"..... It should weigh around the same as your sport model even though it is full carbon fibre. The carbon fibre on this one is thicker than the new Pro model.

The Hans Pro medium I switched to measures 4 1/4" , then 4 3/4" then 6" at the same places on the device...

Kyle, thanks for taking the measurements and the pics! 3 3/4" sounds awfully narrow... I'm going to get someone to measure my neck carefully and we'll see. Do you know what size neck you have for dress shirts? Mine is ~14.5.

I wear 15.5 in dress shirt. I had to literaly squeze the hans on it was easier if I put the head sock on first. I got tired of the squezzing that's why I went to a medium now. Might be less of a squeeze for you from the sounds of it. i

Anyone know anyone that's used a super-small? My girlfriend's neck is 13" and we're waffling about the super-small vs. the medium....
