Product information
The Tillett P1 Defender Rib Protector is the most advanced karting body protector in the Tillett range – CIK-FIA
Designed with 360-degree protection, the Defender features a rigid composite shell, high-spec energy-absorbing foam, and a flexible integrated chest panel, making it fully compliant for all CIK-FIA regulated karting events. Unlike bulky alternatives, the Defender’s ultra-thin profile fits cleanly under a race suit and conforms to the driver’s ribcage over time for a personalised, snug fit.
It’s fully adjustable for both V-shaped and square torsos, with elasticated shoulder straps, breathable Lycra lining, and a Velcro front fixing strap for quick adjustments. The exterior combines a tough plastic shell and reinforced side panel structure, ensuring long-term durability even under repeated impacts and high stress.
Whether you're racing at national or international level, the P1 Defender provides unrivalled safety, comfort, and compliance in one lightweight package – hand-built in the UK to exacting standards.
