In our opinion the DefNder is a better overall design over the Hans head and neck Device.
It offers more support and more protection then the Hans head and neck Device.
It's also adjustable Angle, which the Hans head and neck Device is NOT.
And it has latteral support left and right, which the Hans head and neck Device Does Not.
It keeps your Harness more securely fastened, then the Hans head and neck Device.
Most important it's more comfortable to wear then the Hans head and neck Device.


Here is the NEW  defNder / Defender Head and Neck Restraint! 
The new unit has a BLACK stabilizer bar but still retains corporate colors of green and black.

 WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY about the  Defender / DefNder™ Head and neck Restraint

“I feel the design of the defNder is safer than other units on the market and it’s extremely comfortable to wear"

Jerry Coons, Jr - 2008 USAC Triple Crown Champion



"I had yet to come across a head/neck restraint system that I feel both comfortable and safe while in the cockpit. With my new defNder, I am getting the best of both worlds. It is the most comfortable and safe feeling head/neck restraint on the market, and that is why I choose defNder!"

Andy McMillin - 2006 Baja 1000 Winner



"My first stint was in the right seat as a co driver. The DefeNder when properly adjusted was the best thing I could have chosen about that ride. I sat and relaxed and let the Defender hold me in place while everything else was mercilessly beat into submission. I was able to see all gauges, the GPS, the mirrors and check crossings and course merges with ease. Something that can be difficult in other HNR systems. But without the neck and back fatigue of the old neck roll and bounce your brains out method. I also was able to work controls for my driver as he was fighting steering issues and needed both hands to keep the car on the track. Next was my turn in the left seat. Again the Defender held me tight and let me drive. I did not have to fight the seatbelts to keep me in the seat. I just drove. I did not have the fatigue in my neck of fighting every bump, I just drove and….. the next morning I woke with no soreness in my neck and back that has become the norm for racing."

Wayne I. – Rock Sports Driver


“I wheel-hopped another racer going about 90 mph at I-55 Raceway, the car went airborne and I hit the fence about 80 mph. The car was totaled and broke the motor out. I was wearing the defNder and have no neck pain at all. Thank you for a great product!!”

Matt Z. - Dirt Late Model driver in MO


“I was passing for 2nd place at Barberton Speedway in Ohio and my throttle stuck….my car slammed into the turn one wall and destroyed the entire front clip. Thanks to my defNder I walked away….and have no neck/back pain today…..my appreciation to everyone at defNder.”

Denver C. – Sportsman driver from OH


Thanks for a wonderful product…..my defNder is much more comfortable than the Hans unit I was using”

Kevin B. – Van Dieman Formula Ford

Scott M. – IMCA Sport Modified


“I loved the way the DefNder works…..it’s really comfortable”

Chuck F. – Class 10 – Best in the Desert


“I rolled my General Tire Monster Truck in Springfield, MO and landed hard on my roof …….the defNder worked great and the harness flares kept my belts on the unit the entire time. I also love the way I can turn my head in the cockpit…………thanks for a great product”
