Protective Shorts - Junior
Protective Shorts - Junior
If you are looking to minimise the bumps and bruises your children get during rugby training then grab a pair of our junior protective shorts now. During tough training sessions or matches, added padding is vital for enhancing junior players’ performance and recovery time at school or club level. This is exactly why Gilbert have designed the Protective Shorts.
This form of body armour is essential for club and school players when the ground gets tougher and the body becomes prone to painful impact. The Protective Shorts offers 5mm Triflex padding to the hip and quadriceps to absorb contact taken during tackling.
Available in Small Boys to Large Boys, the Protective Shorts would work well with any of the upper body armour we supply.
