WORLD RUGBY APPROVED:

Match-day ready. Officially World Rugby approved, so it meets the standard required for competitive match play as well as training.

MULTI-ZONE EVA PADDING:

Protection where it matters most. This 5-pad top features 10mm padded shoulders to absorb heavy impacts, alongside 5mm bicep and sternum padding to shield your core and upper arms during collisions.

EXTRA-LONG BODY DESIGN:

Stay focused on the game, not your gear. The extra-long length keeps the top securely tucked into your shorts, so it won't ride up during scrums, tackles or high-intensity sprints.

PREMIUM STRETCH FABRIC:

Total freedom of movement. The snug, aerodynamic stretch construction wicks moisture away from the skin to keep you cool and dry, and sits lightweight and discreet under a match-day jersey or training bib without adding bulk.

REMOVABLE PADS FOR EASY CARE:

Peak hygiene with zero hassle. All EVA pads are fully removable, so you can machine wash the vest separately to keep your gear fresh throughout the season.

VERSATILE PERFORMANCE BASE LAYER:

Built for more than rugby. While designed for the rigours of rugby, it's ideal for any high-contact sport where shoulder and chest protection is required, including American football and rugby league.

Can the pads be removed for washing?

Yes — all EVA pads are fully removable so you can machine wash the vest separately.

Is this top only for rugby?

No — it's suited to any high-contact sport that needs shoulder and chest protection, including American football and rugby league.

Do you wear it under your rugby shirt?

Yes — it is designed as a base layer worn beneath your jersey or training bib.

How thick is the shoulder padding?

10mm across the shoulders, with 5mm over the biceps and sternum.
