Product Information
Full details
The Rhino Pro Rugby Headguard is designed for rugby players at all levels who prioritize head protection without sacrificing comfort or mobility. Its primary benefit is the use of Dual Expansion Foam technology, which delivers a durable, lightweight, and flexible fit that conforms to the player's head. While it offers excellent impact absorption and ventilation, users should note that the small sizing requires careful measurement to ensure a snug, secure fit during high-intensity gameplay.

FAQs
Is the Rhino Pro Rugby Headguard machine washable?
No, it is recommended to clean the headguard by hand with a damp cloth to protect the foam's structural integrity.
How do I ensure I have the right fit?
Measure the circumference of your head just above the eyebrows and ears, then compare it against the sizing chart for the Small model.
Can this be used for other sports?
This headguard is specifically engineered for rugby. While it may provide protection in other sports, it is optimized for the specific impact profiles of a rugby match.
Does the headguard block my hearing?
The design features air vents and specialized foam positioning to ensure that hearing remains clear and unobstructed during play.
How long should a headguard last?
Longevity depends on frequency of use and care; however, you should replace the headguard if the foam shows visible signs of compression, cracking, or if the straps lose their elasticity.
Troubleshooting
Headguard feels loose during play
Adjust the rear elasticated straps and ensure the chin strap is securely fastened using the touch-fastening system.
Headguard shifts during movement
Verify that you have selected the correct size and ensure that the fit is snug against the scalp before entering contact.
Foam feels stiff
Ensure the headguard is kept at room temperature. Extreme cold can temporarily firm the foam, which will soften once worn and warmed by body heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, pull the headguard over your head and adjust the rear elasticated straps until the fit is snug but comfortable. Use the touch-fastening system under the chin to secure the unit in place; ensure it is tight enough that the headguard does not slide during movement, but loose enough to allow comfortable breathing and swallowing. For care, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth after every match to remove sweat and dirt. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the foam. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the material properties.
