Get padded where it matters. Our rugby body armour absorbs contact across your shoulders, ribs, and upper torso — the areas that take the brunt of tackles, rucks, and close-up scrums.
Explore proven options like the Gilbert XP1000 Body Armour for full-coverage defence, or keep things lightweight with the Canterbury Core Protect Vest — ideal for training or matchday. We also stock the Canterbury Pro Protect Vest Ladies, tailored for a women’s fit without losing any protection up top.
You’ll find protection vests, shoulder tops, and compression armour from trusted names like Gilbert, Canterbury, and Shock Doctor, with options for both adults and juniors. Worn at every level — from grassroots to elite names like Josh van der Flier, Zach Mercer, and Grant Gilchrist — body armour is now a core part of matchday prep.
Looking to reduce the knock-on effect of impact? Armour helps cut down bruising and soreness so you recover sharper between sessions.
