"Aaron hi one more question that may be of interest to people what are the wear characteristics like is there a big difference between brand new and 1-2 meetings old and how consistent are they through the wear life? Cheers"

Phil McManus commented on Chris Quin's blog post Rib Protectors"As a near 50 yr old that started karting last Jan. I have had no end of rib pain, x-rays, physio etc etc. I started with a padded rib protector and recently switched to a Kartech Carbon Fibre one from Right Karts. It is significantly better. I did…"
Robert Hutton commented on Chris Quin's blog post Rib Protectors"Tillet. We have just moved up a size in same brand/model. Get Callum to try Arie's new one."
Ross Tait commented on Chris Quin's blog post Rib Protectors"No worries, Tillet was the best seat I have ever had as well and best for the ribs / body I have used as well."
Richard Moore commented on Chris Quin's blog post Rib Protectors"Sorry That was me, dunno how dad would fit into a seat! The Tillet P1 was by far the best rib protector I've ever used."
Ross Tait commented on Chris Quin's blog post Rib Protectors"Agree with Graeme Tillet is great and you can get them direct or Lascom Motorsport have some in stock and you can try styles and sizes there."

Andre Elliot commented on Chris Quin's blog post Rib Protectors"Chris,
FYI, Leo's seat is the same as Steve Cox's and Mike Barry's. It is a Ribtech from the states. Carbon Fibre wrap around job. They make a tall back version as well. Not cheap though. $700 odd landed in NZ. Also WILL affect the…"
Mark Dixon commented on Chris Quin's blog post Rib Protectors"When I first started karting (about 2.5 years ago) my ribs gave me a real hard time. I then went to a Sparco Rib protector with a tillet seat, set to the right width with the seat stays and it's been fantastic. I would say just buy a larger…"
Niki Urwin commented on Chris Quin's blog post Rib Protectors"My ribs take a beating as I have no muscle movement from my nipples down. So no core muscles to soften the load so to speak. I used a freeminds carbon fibre rib protector. Dad got it from Australia. After that wore out I found an exact copy at half…"
Ross Tait commented on Chris Quin's blog post Rib Protectors"Not some that we got in (not fully padded though). Agree the old ones did though they were really thick fibreglass."
Aarron Cunningham commented on Chris Quin's blog post Rib Protectors"Ross........Tillet seat yes.....padded no. Tillet do great Rib Protectors and also do many different shape of seat - Getting a padded one does affect the handling."

So without going into which shop and where to buy one...........does anyone have a view on which Rib Protector does the best job, especially for tall skinny lads (so not me then) we have had a sparco one for ages but too small now so what next?
