Stand21 Featherlite Frontal Head Restraint (FHR) The Featherlite from Stand21 is a breakthrough technological achievement in the FHR family, offering the absolute highest level of safety while weighing an incredible 310g (10.9 oz.) excluding padding. The use of very high strength carbon fiber combined with a more ergonomic design of the legs makes this FHR the safest, lightest, most comfortable head-and-neck safety device created to date. A revolutionary new integrated strap passage allows a flat curvature along the rear of the Stand21 Featherlite, alleviating uncomfortable interference between your helmet, the FHR device, and your seat. The Stand21 Featherlite is hugely popular among professionals as well as the most demanding amateur drivers. Three Bold New Colors Set Featherlite Apart The Stand21 Featherlite FHR is now available with three fantastic new colored lacquer finishes over the carbon fiber. In addition to traditional gloss clear finish, there are new gloss red, gloss blue, and gloss green finishes! The only HNR to offer colors, this further sets the Stand21 Featherlite apart from the ordinary.

Unprecedented curvature beam alleviating discomfort between the helmet, FHR, and seat/headrest Revolutionary integral strap passage Available in Medium and Large Available for 20° incline angles Supplied with black padding, sliding tether, and protective bag New, more ergonomic leg design

The Meru IDS (Impact Damping System) is the most advanced head restraint system available, engineered to dramatically reduce the forces drivers experience during high-speed impacts. Whether you're competing wheel-to-wheel or logging laps on a test day, the IDS transforms safety expectations by managing head movement like no other system on the market. Meru Ascent IDS Carbon Head Restraint System Unmatched Head Control. Unrivaled Force Reduction. Unlike traditional systems that simply brace the head, the Meru IDS actively controls head motion—reducing both linear and angular acceleration during an impact. Through a proprietary speed-sensitive valve system, the IDS absorbs energy intelligently, offering exceptional comfort under normal conditions and maximum protection when it matters most. Key Features: Impact Reduction Like No Other: In a 70G impact, the IDS lowered head force from over 300 lbs (competitor) to just over 60 lbs—a near 80% reduction. Superior Neck Protection: Falls hundreds of pounds below both SFI and FIA upper neck tension thresholds. Engineered for Elite Safety: Custom CNC’d titanium hardware and a carbon fiber/Kevlar shell with a proprietary burst panel ensure durability and performance. Durability Built In: Withstands thousands of impacts without degradation in performance. Universal Fit: Adjustable moving headrest works in all seating positions—GT, formula, or prototype. Technology That Works With You The Meru IDS is built around a proprietary dampener system featuring speed-sensitive valving. This allows it to adapt in real-time—offering a soft feel during regular use and firm, controlled motion under extreme load. It's not just safe—it’s confidence-inspiring. If you're serious about racing and refuse to compromise on safety or comfort, the Meru IDS is your competitive edge. The forces to the head in the majority of auto racing accidents come from rotational energy which promotes angular acceleration. It has become rare to have a direct linear impact to the head. Traditional FHR's solid construction and tethering prevent the ability to mitigate angular acceleration forces. With traditional FHR’s in an impact the brain and head immediately speed up and then come to an immediate stop when the tether stops the helmet, which has a similar effect to hitting your head on a wall despite not leaving a scratch on the helmet.IDS technology immediately begins slowing the impact down, controlling the helmet's movement forward, thereby reducing the transfer of angular acceleration forces to the head and brain. Low Threshold Energy Recent medical research has provided alarming conclusions surrounding the causes, severity, and long-term effects of concussions. Even seemingly minor concussions may have much more serious long-term effects on the brain, especially when frequency is increased. The current crop of head restraints focus on limiting upper neck tension and leaving concussion prevention up to the helmet companies. With this well noted, the vast majority of impacts one might experience in auto racing qualify as low-threshold energy impacts. That is, impacts well below the pass/fail velocities of the certification standards, but severe enough to cause a concussion or a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Bumpy tracks, a big cushion in dirt cars, or a string of small crashes can do enough jarring to sustain a concussion or TBI without any obvious carnage to pair it with. IDS starts working the instant an impact begins and the speed sensitive valving makes the technology more compliant and progressive over a broad range of impact velocities common in real world racing while still exceeding the global standard pass/fail requirements. High Velocity Impacts Across the entire range of potential impact velocities, the Meru Ascent FHR with IDS technology consistently outperforms competitive designs. Meru meticulously engineers the collar, headrest, hardware, guards and IDS to provide the best possible impact mitigation performance across all impact velocities for both angular and linear accelerations. In a 70G force impact at the cape crash testing lab in Indianapolis, the Meru Ascent FHR with IDS reduced the concussion causing forces through the head from over 300 pounds with our best competition to just 63 pounds with our restraint. They were able to make those gains without giving up low-threshold energy protection or sacrificing neck safety. Time To Peak (TTP) Time-to-Peak (TTP) is how long it takes the energy of an impact to reach maximum g-force. Deceleration time is the single most beneficial component in reducing the severity and magnitude of any impact — the more time, the less energy transferred.Because of Meru's proprietary IDS technology, their speed sensitive dampener progressively lowers the head's velocity and almost triples the time to peak, spreading their already drastically reduced load over nearly triple the time. Upper Neck Tension The original FHR’s were designed to limit upper neck tension. At the time auto racing's biggest problem was basal skull fracture. Caused by the whiplash motion in an impact, basal skull fracture often severed spinal cords, resulting in death. The original FHR designs did wonders for limiting how far forward the helmet could travel in an impact eliminating the finished whipping motion. In testing to see how well FHR’s do at preventing basal skull fracture, Meru look at upper neck tension. This number is the main pass/fail standard for the safety organization.In Meru's mission of concussion prevention, the original FHR goal of lowered upper neck tension was not lost and they were able to come in several hundred pounds below the set standard either matching or besting the current industry leaders.

Are my tethers too long? No. The HANS Device comes properly adjusted for all drivers. Unless you have changed the tether length it is fine and will work in an impact.  When I put the device on, it rubs against my neck. Is that normal?  Yes. The front of the HANS Device is narrower to accommodate arm movement. Padding can be modified or removed - it does not affect the device’s performance.  What type of shoulder belts work best with a HANS Device?  Any SFI or FIA approved harness system works with the HANS Device. Two inch or three inch belts, as well as 5-6 or more multi-point systems are all fine.  Do shoulder belts slip off the HANS Device?  Properly mounted belts do not slip off the device. If shoulder belts will not stay securely on the device, you may not have the belt mounts properly located in your chassis.  I race on a short track at relatively low speeds. Do I need a HANS Device?  Yes. Serious head and neck injuries happen at impact speeds as low as 35mph. On short tracks with tight turns it is easy to be turned almost straight into the wall.  How do I care for my HANS device?  HANS Devices need almost no maintenance but should be kept clean and dry. To protect them, HANS Devices should be stored out of direct sunlight. They may be cleaned with soapy warm water. Ensure rubber top surfaces stay clean and free of wear. Tethers should be replaced after any major impact or every 5 years. Tethers carry dated labels. Check your helmet anchors for tightness occasionally.  What if my HANS Device is in an impact?  HANS Devices should be inspected periodically or after any impacts. Examine your device in bright sunlight and run your finger around the edges. Any sign of de-lamination, cracking or exposed composite material means the device has served its purpose and should be replaced.  How long are the SFI and FIA certifications acceptable?  Different race series may have different rules regarding age of certifications. SFI 38.1 requires recertifying your HANS every 5 years, and FIA 8858 certifications do not expire. Check our website or your race sanctioning body for more information.
