Support your aspiring racer with the Valhalla Gen4 Armadillo Chest Protector Vest — engineered for the safety demands of young drivers in karting, dirt bikes, motocross and other high‑impact youth motorsports. Certified to SFI standards for torso/chest protection, this vest offers full‑coverage capability with the flexibility to convert into a minimal chest‑protector configuration by removing side and back panels. Whether your driver is racing on asphalt or dirt, the Gen4 vest is built to manage frontal impacts, rib strikes and back‑area trauma without compromising comfort or mobility.

Key features include a padded back for impact dissipation, adjustable side panels allowing growth and tailored fit, and quick‑release snap buckles for fast entry and removal — essential in youth racing pit‑areas. Available in several sizes (Kid Kart, Junior, Junior II, Medium) to match chest/waist circumference, the vest supports growth and adaptability across seasons. The design not only meets club requirements that drivers under 12 wear certified chest protectors, but goes further by offering real adjustability and long‑term use beyond a single season.

For kart parents or program coaches, the Gen4 Armadillo vest offers a smart investment: it helps meet safety compliance, supports driver confidence and reduces the need to switch gear each year. Proper fit is vital — use your driver’s largest measurement (chest or waist) to select the right size. When fitted and maintained correctly, this vest provides both protection and performance for young motorsport athletes.
