With stretchy breathable, moisture management fabric it has an athletic fit and works in conjunction with Xact Thermo Undershirts.

Triflex padding features triangular interlocking protective cells that flex in all directions giving you a unique and perfect fit as if it has been custom-designed for your own shape. This increases comfort and protection significantly.

Constructed with body pads positioned in areas susceptible to soft tissue injury and are restricted to 5mm thickness in order to meet IRB requirements.

Two way stretch base fabrics have been designed to stretch in both directions for a comfortable fit working with your body.

The use of flat seams remove any discomfort or irritation other padding gives by being worn next to your skin.

The protection gives you confidence when it comes to taking and making the big hits. As a rugby player, the physicality the sport demands, means knowing you’re protected on the pitch will give you the focus to push yourself harder and faster, when it really counts.
