Developed by the KF1 and KF2 drivers
of the European and World Championships
Tested on the most demanding rubber covered tracks that place exceptional forces on the ribs and body.
"When using the Ribtec to protect all of our corporate customers, we have been amazed to find that this year, rib problems have been reduced by an astonishing 98%". (Bill Sisley, owner of Buckmore Park Kart Circuit)

The Ladies Ribtec is very different to the standard Ribtec.
The shape has been modified to allow for the bust and, because kart seats are always made for men, extra thickness has been added to the sides to compensate for the more petite female frame.

If a driver's chest is angular or V shaped, it is possible to experience the belt dropping out of position, the Ribtec Harness is the simple and effective answer to any movement problems.

Made for juniors, the Ribtec chest
protector fits on a standard Ribtec and provides extra protection
against damage by the steering wheel.

The
Ribtec must be worn high up under the arms to give maximum protection.
When seated, the top of the belt has to show
above the top edge of the seat to be at its most effective.
When fitting make sure that there is a gap at the front of
about 10 to 15cm. (See diagram across.) If the belt is too big and
no gap exists the level of protection afforded will be reduced.
For maximum comfort, wear over a tee-shirt but undeneath a racesuit.
Test the belt on the track before any modification takes place,
as the belt needs the full width to remain in position. If movement
still occurs, use the Ribtec Harness to keep it in position
.
Between each race keep the belt flat or wrapped around a crash helmet.
Curling the belt up in a tight roll, or creasing it in half could
leave it permanently damaged.
The Velcro strap should be cut down to size when the wearer is happy
with the required length.Chest measurements should be taken with
a measuring tape pulled tight at the height of the red line on the
diagram opposite.
Women should measure directly under the bust line.
