Since I am now doing time trials at high speed tracks (Laguna Seca, AutoClub Speedway, Big Willow, etc), I recently bought a HANS device. I have a big build with a 20" neck so I bought the size Large with the standard 20 degree inclination.

I've tried using the HANS in three events (7 days) and find it to be very uncomfortable - it feels like its way too tight around the neck while I am strapped into the car (racing seats and 6-pt harnesses). It is so uncomfortable that I won't use it anymore.

It seems that HANS doesn't actually make a size XL even though they show that size on their website sizing chart.

Any suggestions?
