The P1 Rib Protector by Tillett is one of the best engineered rib protectors available. Recently at the CIK FIA Karting World Championships the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place driver were all using the Tillett P1 rib protector! It's also used by many of the top drivers in the sport including F1 stars Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button, and Kimi Raaikonen. CIK-FIA OK and KZ World Champions like Pedro Hiltbrand, Dexter Patterson and Paul De Conto trust the P1 because it has the technology to keep their ribs safe with today's modern karts and soft tires on "rubbered up" tracks placing extreme G-forces on their rib cages. It's also one of very few rib vests that provides full wrap protection all the way around the back.

List of features/benefits from the manufacturer:

  • Multi-layer design uses modern armor principles to dissipate energy and spread load.
  • High impact internal composite panels do not deform on a hot day.
  • Highly specialized soft energy absorbing foam.
  • Will not damage race suits due to its plastic outer skin.
  • Fully adjustable at the rear allowing the protector to adapt to a straight or V shaped torso.
  • Able to protect using a very thin cross section, so does not disrupt the seat size. A driver with loose hips would receive even more rib pressure.
  • The shoulder harness is elasticated, which adapts to a twisting torso and prevents the protector from being pulled up when driving. It has a neat and effective adjustment method which allows far greater height adjustment.
  • Inner layer of Lycra provides a comfortable and abrasive free surface for the driver, even when wet with sweat.
  • Elasticated front strap conforms to the driver’s chest and enables unhindered breathing.
  • Ultra-lightweight materials for the best performance, approximate
