Origin Headguard Questions, Answered

What does a scrum cap protect against?

The Origin headguard helps protect the head and ears against minor cuts and scuffs. It is not designed to prevent concussion or other head injuries, and no headguard can.

Is it World Rugby approved?

Yes. It's World Rugby approved for both training and match play, for adults, juniors and kids.

Which size should I choose?

Measure around the head just above the eyebrows and ears, then use the size finder above. Head sizes run from 54.5 cm (XS) to 64.5 cm (XL). If you're between sizes, choose the larger one.

How should it fit?

Snug, so the padding sits close to the head and doesn't move. Use the rear lacing to adjust the fit, then fasten the chin strap.

Can I order for my whole team?

Yes. Choose the sizes you need here, or for larger squad orders use our bulk enquiry form and our team will send a quote.

How quickly will it arrive?

Orders placed by 2pm Monday to Friday are dispatched the same day. Standard UK mainland delivery is free on orders over £35 and takes 2–5 working days.

What if it doesn't fit?

Return it unused and unworn in its original packaging within 30 days of receipt for a full refund, then place a new order for the size you need. Orders placed between 1 October and 31 December can be returned until 31 January.
