Tim,
http://www.zoombang.com I highly recommend the shirt. Critical zone in Grand Junction had them in stock when I needed them.
Sense I started wearing the shirt and my old ribtech the pain left.in addition to the Zoombang shirts we also have their seat pads.. plus the Body Armor rib protector… 970-256-0107
Tim,
Not sure what size you would be, but theres a Ribtect 2 for sale in the classifieds section at a ridiculous deal….its brand new. Size 46.
I used a Phoenix, I believe Brad still has them in stock. I really only needed one to help me fit into seats better and right now I fit my seat perfect without it.
I did take a few nasty crahses in years past, and when the pavement wore through my suit it didnt go through the vest. I like it because it also has padding up and over your shoulders and that was one area that my suit wore through.

Ditto for my Sparco vest ($100), plus it’s got a big honkin’ sternum protector to let me fill out my driving suit better (tough when you’re 6′-1″ and 160 lbs sopping wet).
In the end, make sure you try on what you’re going to get, ideally while wearing your driving suit and sitting in your own seat (take both to the shop with you).
