Topic: Need Help Understanding Helmets & HANS device
Good afternoon,
My buddies and I are new to racing (in general), and we are currently trying to figure out what type of helmet and compatible safety equipment we need to buy. We saw that the rules recommend a Snell SA2020 helmet and also a HANS device?
Could someone help us figure out what the difference between these two helmets, because they both say they are composite shells? Is one more of a reputable brand than the other? Or are we looking at the wrong type of helmet.

Also, my understanding is that the HANS device comes with straps to connect to the helmet, so does that mean we need to buy a Helmet with the screw holes pre-made or make the holes ourselves? Myself and one of my friends will probably get an XL-size helmet, while the other two are probably Medium, so does that mean we need two different HANS devices so they fit?
All help is greatly appreciated! Thanks
