Design details
A Decathlon | Canterbury partnership?
We are pleased to announce the signature of a co-branding partnership with the Canterbury brand. This partnership will enable us to associate ourselves with a high-profile brand that is well known in the world of rugby. By working together, we can highlight the excellence, technicality and accessibility of our products..
Equipment that never compromises on your safety.
Our main objective is to protect you effectively. While designs and sensations may vary based on your playing style, the level of protection you get will never change.
What does that mean exactly?
That all our shoulder pads give you the same level of protection that meets World Rugby standards.
So what's changed?
The level of comfort: with ergonomic pads, you can throw, tackle and jump with total freedom!
A product and a layout designed with pro players in mind!
To create shoulder pads that are truly suitable for playing rugby, regardless of level, we asked professional players to indicate on a jersey the areas they wanted protected. After two years of work, multiple prototypes and a plethora of tests, our four-strong design team is proud to present protective equipment that was co-designed especially for rugby!
These shoulder pads meet World Rugby regulations
Play with peace of mind: all our protections comply with World Rugby regulations. These standards dictate what the foam must be made of and how dense (less than 45 kg per m3) and thick it must be (less than 1 cm).Why is there a maximum standard? To prevent excessive force during play.
What do shoulder pads co-designed with pro players give you?
A lot of carefully thought out details for your sport!
Such as?
- We added a protection pad at the back collar to cover the base of your neck.
- The densest foam is at the shoulders to absorb impacts, while the foam is cut out in small areas along the shoulder blades for freedom of movement.
- The centre of the shoulder pads is made from stretchy fabric for greater flexibility while the sides are in mesh to quickly evacuate heat and perspiration.
