Fit and use

Adjustable side and shoulder straps ensure that the vest fits snugly so you will not be constantly adjusting mid race. The perfect fit equals the perfect performance. The slim profile works under most racing suits while the foam padding helps manage contact from seat edges and wheel-to-wheel contact. The hypoallergenic fabric lining adds comfort even during those long track days when you stay in the seat for extended periods.

The vest is built for racers who want current homologation without added bulk keeping focus on driving rather than gear shifts. Carbon fiber and Kevlar give the shell strength and flexibility so it absorbs shocks without weighing you down during every lap.
