OMP Racing Rib Protection Vest

Yes, the OMP Carbon Fibre Rib Protection Vest features a slim, ergonomic profile specifically designed to be worn underneath racing suits without creating bulk or restricting your movement in the cockpit.

Carbon fiber offers a superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to plastic alternatives. It provides a more rigid, protective shell that absorbs impact more effectively while remaining significantly lighter, which helps reduce driver fatigue during longer track sessions.

This vest is primarily engineered for high-speed karting where lateral G-forces are significant. While it provides excellent rib support, it is specifically optimized for the intense cornering demands found in competitive kart racing.

Rib protectors should fit snugly against your torso to be effective. We recommend measuring the circumference of your rib cage just below the chest; if you are on the smaller side of the spectrum, the size S will provide the necessary compression and support without shifting during maneuvers.

The ergonomic design is shaped to follow the natural contours of your torso, ensuring that your arm movement remains completely uncompromised. While it will feel secure and firm, it is cut to allow for full lung expansion and natural breathing while you are behind the wheel.
