Sabelt X-Pad Off-Road Racing Seat (Waterproof)
The Sabelt X-Pad Off-Road Racing Seat is a compact, full-containment racing seat engineered for vehicles with limited cockpit space. Designed for racers who demand the protection of a halo-style seat without sacrificing fitment flexibility, the X-Pad delivers FIA-approved safety, exceptional driver support, and innovative waterproof construction in one of the most compact containment seats available.
Perfect for vehicles such as the Mazda Miata, Chevrolet Corvette, compact off-road race vehicles, rally cars, and other tight-cockpit applications, the X-Pad was specifically developed to maximize interior driver space while minimizing overall seat dimensions.
By utilizing thinner, high-density foam padding and redesigning the outer shell profile, Sabelt was able to significantly reduce the seat's exterior dimensions without compromising comfort or driver accommodation. The result is a racing seat that fits where many full-containment seats cannot while still comfortably accommodating a wide range of drivers.
Compact Full-Containment Design
The X-Pad provides the enhanced lateral support and head protection of a modern containment seat while maintaining a remarkably compact footprint. Its optimized shoulder and hip geometry helps improve driver protection and control while fitting vehicles where traditional halo seats may be too large.
This innovative design makes the X-Pad an excellent choice for road racing, endurance racing, autocross, time attack, rally competition, off-road racing, and high-performance track-day vehicles.
Waterproof Construction
Unlike traditional racing seats that absorb moisture and dirt, the Sabelt X-Pad features a waterproof design that can be easily cleaned after use. Whether exposed to mud, dust, rain, or harsh off-road conditions, the X-Pad is built to withstand demanding environments while maintaining its appearance and performance.
When it's time to clean the seat, simply hose it off and get back to racing.
