PROTECTION TECHNOLOGY

Triflex Padding - Triangular interlocking protective cells that flex in all directions. Gives a unique and perfect fit for every player.

Cavity Padding - Concave padded cells. Impact forces are obsorbed and air is trapped creating an 'air bag' effect.

Body Pads - All body pads in the range are positioned in areas susceptible to soft tissue injury and are restricted to 5mm thickness to meet IRB requirements.

Two Way Stretch - Base fabrics are designed to strech in both directions for a comfortable fit.

Flat Seams - All padded clothing is designed to be worn as an undergarment. All seams are sewn flat to avoid friction and discomfort.
