Ribtect 3 vs. Armadillo Rib Vest, Thoughts?

[JapanKarting]

Hello everyone,

After todays first time really in a "real" go Kart, I have come to the conclusion that I need a rib protector (aches quite a bit now). So After some research I have come to deciding between these two, but ultimately I am just not sure which is the better option.

Any input would be greatly appreciated either from well-informed individuals or individuals who are using one of these products.

Also I am a 22 year old male, medium built, 6"0 173 lbs. (in case age,height, or weight plays a role in deciding which ones better.)

Thanks,

Thanks for the heads up. A friend gave me the original Tillett Ribtec systems rib pad for free, going to give it a go next week and see how it is. But if it doesn't do the job, i think i'll fork over the cash for the Ribtect.
