Product Information

Full details

The Gilbert XP100 Rugby Protective Bodywear is an ideal solution for rugby players seeking essential impact protection without compromising on value or comfort. This gear provides targeted padding across the shoulders and arms to mitigate the risks associated with physical contact during play, making it a reliable choice for players of all levels. While it offers excellent core protection and a sustainable design made from recycled polyester, users should note that the padding is focused specifically on the upper body and may not replace the specialized protection required for all contact zones.

FAQs

Is the Gilbert XP100 suitable for junior players?

Yes, its contoured design and adjustable fit make it appropriate for a wide range of players, including juniors.

Can I tumble dry this body armour?

It is not recommended to tumble dry. Air drying is best to preserve the shape and quality of the padding.

Does this provide rib protection?

No, the XP100 specifically targets the arms and shoulders for impact protection.

Is the material breathable?

Yes, the polyester construction is designed to be lightweight and breathable for active play.

How should the fit feel?

It should have a snug, compressive feel without being restrictive, ensuring the padding stays directly over the shoulders and arms.

Troubleshooting

Padding feels loose or misaligned

Ensure you have selected the correct size and that the garment is pulled taut across the shoulders before putting on your jersey.

Garment feels restrictive during movement

Check if the base layer has become twisted; ensure it is aligned correctly with your body's natural contours.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Gilbert XP100 bodywear, it is recommended to machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle to maintain the integrity of the padding. Avoid using harsh bleaching agents or fabric softeners that could degrade the polyester material. Always air dry the garment away from direct heat sources to prevent the padding from warping. When wearing, ensure the garment sits flush against the skin under your jersey to maximize the efficiency of the protective zones and prevent chafing.
