The rib protector is FIA approved and the soft suede-plastic body does not allow seat bolts to allow damage to race suits, while the rigid internal composite side panels spread the loads and maintain their shape even on a hot day. The Tillett P1 DEFENDER Rib Protector Black has several sizes, suitable for the smallest bambinos to the largest adult pilots, with women's versions available.

Points of attention when purchasing a high-quality rib protection

If you are going to participate in karting competitions, it applies that most organizers have included the requirements for these garments in their regulations.

For rib protection, there is no form of homologation. This means that the FIA/CIK does not make any direct demands on neck and rib protection.
In general; safety comes first; be well informed before purchasing rib protection.

You prefer to avoid ribs and chest injuries. Nothing as annoying for a crankcase as, for example, bruised ribs. An injury that you will generally suffer, but the extent to which it occurs is certainly important. A good protection can save a lot of suffering.

Until a few years ago, it was mainly the simple rib protectors, vests with foam padding and a protection in the form of a plastic cocoon that were often worn, nowadays you see more and more extensive body protectors on offer. You can see around you that these bodyprotectors do not always sit well when sitting in the right size go-kart seat.

A tip at the time of purchase; don't just customize the bodyprotector, but look if it can also be worn comfortably under the go-kart coverall and especially if it can still be worn comfortably in a go-kart seat.
