Description

OMP Kart Carbon Rib Vest – Lightweight Carbon Karting Rib Protector

The OMP Kart Carbon Rib Vest (KK0-0047-B01) is a high-performance karting rib protector engineered to deliver superior lateral impact protection, reduced weight, and maximum comfort for competitive drivers. Designed specifically for kart racing environments where sustained side loads and seat pressure are constant, this vest uses advanced carbon-reinforced panels to protect the rib cage without restricting movement.

Built for serious kart racers, the vest combines rigid external protection with an ergonomic interior structure that conforms closely to the torso, ensuring stability under braking, cornering, and high G-forces.

Key Features & Benefits

• Carbon Reinforced Protection Panels: Strategically positioned carbon outer shells provide high resistance against lateral impacts and seat compression common in karting crashes.
• Ultra-Lightweight Construction: Carbon structure significantly reduces overall weight compared to traditional rib protectors, minimizing driver fatigue.
• Ergonomic Contoured Shape: Designed to follow the natural torso profile for a tight, race-ready fit inside kart seats.
• High-Density Energy Absorbing Foam: Internal padding disperses impact forces and reduces pressure points during long sessions.
• Adjustable Shoulder & Waist Straps: Allows precise fitment for different body shapes and ensures the protector remains secure while driving.
• Breathable Inner Lining: Comfort-focused interior materials help manage heat and moisture under race suits.
• Low-Profile Kart Seat Compatibility: Slim structure fits easily inside modern racing seats without interference. 

Application in Motorsport
