The Rib Rocket is designed in California and has strategically placed stitched PVC foam padding in areas where the ribs come into contact with the board during prone paddling. The padding is sufficient to soften the impact where the cartilage bone meets the board and glass. We found that more surfers have been suffering from rib pain due to the new EPS epoxy boards which are much harder than traditional fiberglass resins. Rib Rocket addresses these issues and provides a comfortable solution for all who suffer from rib pain.
The Rib Rocket features a 2mm neoprene front panel with stitched PVC padding for comfort and stability and a lycra back for a fine-tuned fit and cooler material for warmer climates. In addition, a short board loop connects the garment to trunks to prevent ride-up and a side draw cord to adjust the garment around the waist. Furthermore, it provides 50+ U.V. sun protection.
