Product Information
Full details
The RST X D3O Racing Chest Protector is designed for track enthusiasts and performance riders who require advanced impact protection without sacrificing mobility. By utilizing non-Newtonian D3O material and a rigid polycarbonate shell, it offers a high degree of energy absorption for the sternum and rib area, though it is specifically intended for use inside a race suit rather than as standalone armor.

FAQs
Does the D3O material wear out?
D3O is durable and maintains its protective properties through multiple impacts, but should be inspected regularly for signs of material degradation.
Can I wear this over my t-shirt?
This protector is designed to be worn under a race suit. Wearing it directly over a base layer is possible, but it is optimized to fit inside the integrated pockets or internal spaces of racing apparel.
Is this machine washable?
No, do not machine wash the protector. Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior shell and surface of the foam.
Does it provide back protection?
No, this is specifically a chest protector. It should be paired with a dedicated back protector for full upper-body coverage.
What happens to the D3O if it gets cold?
D3O is engineered to perform across a wide temperature range, though it may feel slightly stiffer in extreme cold before you put it on.
Troubleshooting
Protector feels bulky under the suit
Ensure the protector is properly centered and not overlapping with other internal suit armor or base layers.
Armor shifts during aggressive riding
Check that the race suit fits correctly; if the suit is too loose, the armor may not stay seated in the intended position.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Advanced D3O material offers superior impact energy dissipation
- Rigid outer shell enhances structural integrity
- Slim, low-profile fit prevents restriction under leathers

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, ensure the protector is centered on the chest before pulling your race suit completely tight. It is compatible with most standard one-piece and two-piece racing suits that allow for internal armor integration. For maintenance, remove the insert if possible and wipe the outer shell with a damp cloth; do not submerge the D3O material in harsh chemical cleaners. Always inspect the rigid polycarbonate shell for stress cracks after a heavy impact and replace the unit if structural integrity is compromised.
