Product Information

Full details

The Gilbert XP100 Rugby Protective Bodywear is designed for rugby players at all levels who require reliable impact protection without sacrificing mobility. This gear provides essential coverage across five key zones, ensuring players feel secure during tackles and contact situations, though users should note that the contoured fit is designed to be worn snugly under a jersey, which may feel restrictive to those unaccustomed to compression-style apparel.

FAQs

Is this protective gear legal for competitive matches?

Yes, the Gilbert XP100 is designed to comply with standard rugby regulations for protective padding, provided it does not contain prohibited rigid materials.

Does the recycled material affect the durability?

No, the recycled polyester is engineered to match the strength and durability of virgin materials, ensuring it withstands the stresses of the game.

Can I wear this under a compression shirt?

It is recommended to wear the XP100 directly against your skin for the best fit, as wearing it over other shirts may cause the padding to slide out of position.

How do I determine my correct size?

Measure around the chest at the widest point and refer to the Gilbert sizing chart to ensure a proper compression fit.

Will the padding harden over time?

The XP padding is designed to remain flexible and resilient throughout its lifespan; regular washing as directed helps maintain its integrity.

Troubleshooting

Padding feels like it is moving during a tackle

Ensure you have selected the correct size; the garment should have a firm, compression-style fit to keep padding secure.

Fabric irritation after long matches

Ensure the seams are positioned correctly and the garment is not being worn over other bulky layers that cause friction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comprehensive protection across five essential zones
  • Environmentally friendly materials sourced from recycled ocean plastic
  • Contoured fit prevents the garment from bunching under a jersey
  • Lightweight feel despite the added protective padding

Cons

  • Snug fit may feel tight for some body types
  • Limited coverage outside of the five designated impact zones
  • Requires proper sizing to ensure padding stays in the correct position

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure maximum effectiveness, the XP100 should be worn directly against the skin to allow the compression fit to keep the pads locked in the correct position. It is fully compatible with standard rugby jerseys and can be worn under chest protectors if additional torso padding is required. To maintain the integrity of the recycled polyester and padding, machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle and air dry whenever possible. Avoid using harsh chemical detergents or bleach, as these can degrade the fabric's elasticity and the impact-absorbing properties of the padding inserts.
