Protection - Headguards

Choosing head protection for rugby comes down to fit, comfort and coverage. Every Optimum headguard uses closed-cell foam panels over the ears and crown to cut down abrasions and ear injuries, with adjustable straps and ventilation to keep players cool. The Razor, Inferno and Origin models run from XXS for younger players up to XL for adults.

This page is for parents buying a first scrum cap, coaches who want their juniors protected and adult players replacing a worn headguard. Measure around the head just above the eyebrows and compare it with our headguard size chart before you order. Our protective equipment carries EU and UK declarations of conformity.
