The Ribtect 2 Rib Protection Vest is an upgraded version of the original Ribtect vest. The design is new and exciting and it features a formed and tooled carbon fiber panel design that is made to flex around the driver for better protection and comfort. The horizontal slats disperse shock and energy. Additionally, the new tooled panels act as a "solid" piece to further disperse shock and energy. The panels are less than 1/8 of inch thick.
