Ribtect Rib Vest


Ribtect Vest

The Ribtect Vest, also referred to as a rib protector vest, is a quality piece of safety equipment designed to function for the racer and has more to offer than just the best protection such as:

  1. Decreased fatigue level allowing for better concentration through the whole race.
  2. A vest that is only about a 3/8" thick around the rib cage and thinner around the back area allowing for the best seat positioning.
  3. A design that provides maximum comfort, not bulky and a custom-fit piece that will not irritate you or move around while driving.
  4. A rigid design to help support your back, holding you more upright in the seat. In turn, letting the seat do most of the work holding you in. This lets you concentrate on your driving instead of your pain.

Ribtect Chest Protector

The Ribtect Chest Protector is primarily designed to help further protect young drivers and riders, in motor sports venues such as go kart racing and motocross events. But, feedback from our customers tells us that it is well suited for many other children's sports related activities such as: ATV, BMX, snowmobile, paintball, little league and pee wee baseball.

After repeatedly hearing about injuries to young drivers due to impact to the chest area, we decided to go to the drawing boards. We have developed a kid's chest protector using two layers of vacuum formed polypropylene plastic and sewn together with a Cordura liner. This product has been tested extensively by the SFI at the Delphi facility. With the results of the testing, we are confident that this product will reduce the level of injury in the sport of kart racing, motorcycle racing, ATV racing, snowmobiling and other high performance motor sports activities.

This child safety product is a "stand alone" chest protective device - It can be worn by itself or with any brand of rib protector or safety vest. The chest protector will go on first, then the vest, then the driving suit.

Ribtect Carbon-Fiber Vest


Ribtect Carbon Fiber Vest
  • Carbon Fiber formed panels help to spread the load and shock even more
  • Panels made to flex around the driver
  • Thinner design for more comfort
  • Custom tailored using stress-relieved polypropylene modules
  • Cordura™ vest with adjustable chest and shoulder straps
  • New improved materials and stronger buckles
  • Better Shock Absorbing Foam
  • Vests come with a variety of Ribtect decals

The Ribtect 2 Rib Protection Vest is an upgraded version of the original Ribtect vest. The design is new and exciting and it features a formed and tooled carbon fiber panel design that is made to flex around the driver for better protection and comfort. It is made of real carbon fiber and is backed with fiberglass, not just some product that resembles carbon fiber. The horizontal slats disperse shock and energy. Additionally, the new tooled panels act as a "solid" piece to further disperse shock and energy. The panels are less than 1/8 of inch thick. The impact absorbing foam and the increased overall quality of the Ribtect 2 vest are already creating a buzz throughout the karting industry.
