A rib vest helps absorb and evenly distribute impacts and vibration directed through the chassis into your body, helping reduce the chance of injury and allowing you to focus on the task of driving, rather than discomfort or exhaustion. The constant vibration of an endurance event can slowly wear down your body, but a rib vest can help fight off this process and give you the strength you need to stay competitive. If you are in need of a rib protector, we highly recommend the K1 RaceGear carbon fiber rib vest! Our kart vest is a high-quality rib protector that incorporates a host of features to improve the user's comfort and provide additional safety.
