motocross kidney belts

Article by Quinton Alderman

A quality kidney belt is an essential part of the off-road rider’s wardrobe. Most kidney belts, however, are nothing more than constrictive elastic devices that support your stomach and lower back at the expense of squashing your insides. Now there’s a kidney belt that supports your vital parts without wrenching your gut. The Kevco/Stubbs Racing belt is manufactured from heavy-duty elastic and nylon webbing, with a perspiration-absorbing tricot liner. Attached to the belt’s exterior are a pair of wing-like elastic straps. These Velcro adjustable straps tailor compression and support without altering the pressure applied by the main belt. Several months of trail riding and bone-jarring motocross revealed that the belt is everything it is claimed to be. The support is as good, if not better than, that of any kidney belt on the market, and comfort is unsurpassed. Street riders, especially those who regularly travel rough roads, will also appreciate the benefits offered by the hand-washable belt. Kidney belts are an important asset to any motocross racer’s wardrobe. Unfortunately for consumers they all look alike and offer the same exact features. Now, however, there is a new belt on the shelves which may not be the most stylish, but claims to offer greater lower back and kidney protection than any other-and why shouldn’t it be the best? It was designed and built by a company that has been making medical braces for over 25 years. Kevco/Stubbs’ belt is more flexible than your typical riding belt. It is tall in the back which holds your kidneys in place from he hips to the ribs, and slims down in the front to allow unrestricted breathing. Unlike other belts on the market, the Kevco/Stubbs belt does not have hard plastic over the back, making it more flexible. It is tensioned by two Velcro-type side straps that snug the back and sides more than the front, which allows a more precise tension adjustment and more tightness at the back and sides where it is needed rather than across your stomach.Kidney belts have been an essential piece of riding gear for as long as people have realized that their bodies, no matter how much in shape, don’t have a way to protect the kidney area from the constant bouncing that comes with riding in the rough. Riding belts in general have not changed much from the first types that appeared
