Gilbert XP 500 Rugby Body Armour Shoulder Pads

Are you looking for added security and defence for your body when taking contact in your rugby matches? To help ease some of your concerns, Gilbert has developed a series robust body armour offering rugby players flexible support.

The updated design is made from recycled polyester. The 100% recycled polyester comes from plastic bottles collected from ocean and processed into a technical polyester that meets the Global Recycled Standard.

The XP500 model uses an ergonomic panel construction to provide padding to the shoulders, bicep, sternum and back, to absorb impact from even the most powerful of tackles.

The 3D moulded system provides the ultimate flexibility and coverage acting like a second skin without restricting your movement.

With any additional clothing, it is imperative that performance is not only maintained, but enhanced. The XP500 Body Armour is designed with lightweight compression fabric that supports the muscles and improves circulation to augment the athletes’ game play. 

The fastwick dry insert fabric allows 4 way stretch to supplement the range of movement and accelerate the pull of moisture away from the skin’s surface therefore eliminating the chill effect.
