Cover where it matters. Strategically placed EVA padding shields the shoulders, sternum and biceps — the areas most exposed to contact — absorbing impact through tackles, rucks and collisions.

Cool and fresh under pressure. Lightweight, breathable stretch fabric with antibacterial properties helps manage perspiration and reduce heat build-up during intense play.
SECURE COMPRESSION FIT:
Moves with you. A close-fitting, ergonomic design moulds to the body and sits low-profile under your rugby kit, moving naturally for agile, unrestricted play.

A fit for every player. Available in Small Boys, Medium Boys, Large Boys, S, M, L, XL and XXL, so there's a size for every player from junior squads to senior teams.
