Description At K1 Race Gear, we highly recommend the use of a rib vest if you compete in outdoor karting or endurance events, as a rib protector can make a huge difference in your overall comfort. If you are interested in getting a rib vest, our carbon fiber rib protector provides superb defense against injury and fatigue, and is highly durable thanks to its construction. 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 our carbon fiber rib vest!
