Time for a new rib vest/chest protector for my son. Through last season he was still wearing the KK sized Armadillo, but he’s definitely outgrown it. Looking at options I found the Sparco at a local kart shop. Anyone used both? There weren’t any problems with the Armadillo, just trying to see what other choices are out there. Thoughts? TIA!
Any opinions on the Sparco SPK-7 vs Armadillo

Check with your club/org rules if the require your son to have a certified chest protector. My local requires kids to have a SFI certified unit which the Armadillo is. I couldn’t find any cert info on the Sparco.

Hi Scott,
My son uses the Ribtect chest/rib vest. They are a 2 piece item and a bit pricey but provides a bit more flexibility regarding fit.
