How to choose the right head & neck restraint

A head & neck restraint should be chosen as part of a full racing safety setup. Start with your rulebook requirement, then confirm helmet anchors, harness type, seating position, device size, and racing environment. If any part of the setup is unclear, ask Helmet City before ordering.

HELMET GUIDE View Size Guide

Check your rulebook

Your racing body, track, or event may specify whether a head & neck restraint is required.

Confirm helmet compatibility

Your helmet must have compatible anchors or accept the correct hardware.

Check your harness setup

Head & neck restraints are designed to work with racing harness systems, not standard street belts.

Choose the right device angle

Device angle can depend on seating position, vehicle type, and racing format.

Choose the right size

Fit depends on neck size, chest size, shoulder shape, and driver comfort.

Complete the setup

You may need anchors, tethers, pads, harnesses, helmet hardware, and support accessories.
