OMP FIA 8870 Rib Protector karting

FIA 8870 rib protector for competitive karting

A FIA 8870 rib protector is designed for kart drivers seeking the highest level of safety, support and racing performance. Developed according to the FIA 8870-2018 standard, this premium chest protector meets the most demanding motorsport safety requirements. It effectively protects the ribs, chest and lateral torso area against impacts, vibrations and high chassis forces generated during competitive karting.

This protector is highly recommended for demanding categories such as Rotax, X30, OK, OKJ and KZ, where lateral loads on the body are significant. Its ergonomic design delivers excellent freedom of movement without compromising safety.

FIA 8870-2018 homologation and maximum protection

The FIA 8870-2018 standard represents one of the most advanced safety benchmarks for kart rib protectors. This certification guarantees high impact absorption and improved force distribution during impacts or repeated compression against the seat.

The rigid outer shell provides outstanding lateral protection while reducing physical fatigue during driving. This technology helps minimize rib pain often experienced during long training sessions or intense race weekends.

Ergonomic comfort and precise fit

Thanks to adjustable shoulder straps and a lateral tightening system, this rib protector offers precise fitting for multiple body shapes. Support remains secure without creating uncomfortable pressure points.

Its ergonomic design improves upper body mobility, which is essential for precise and smooth driving inputs. The padded inner structure enhances comfort and reduces friction against the racing suit, even during the most demanding sessions.
