The power involved in Sport Pads has been calculated to be equivalent to the power in a car accident, and rugby players, in general, suffer more injuries than any other athlete in any other sport. With good technique, both the tackler and the tackled player can leave the high-impact tackle without injury to choose the right Rugby Pads.
Rugby Pads, in particular, has many clearly defined rules for the design of the shoulder pads. Fortunately, however, you don’t have to spend time researching these aspects of the rules. Instead, you can just check the label and if it is legal it will be marked “IRB Approved Clothing”.
You will seldom find products in stores that are not IRB approved, but if you do, I advise you not to buy these products. You cannot wear them during the game, although you can wear them during training, it is best to train with the equipment you are using to ensure that the training reproduces the conditions of the game as closely as possible.
These products are often referred to as “shoulder pads” because the first-generation products usually only offer sport pads. However, many products now also offer padding on the chest, arms, ribs, and back that help reduce impact when grappling or hitting. As long as you don’t feel the limitations of this filler while playing, you can enjoy the benefits of this additional filler.
The fit of the shoulder pads is very important. If the padding moves while you play, it will not provide the same level of protection. Therefore, a tight fit is essential, so that the pad does not slip off and is as comfortable as possible to wear under the jersey. However, if the fit is too tight, it may limit your game, so tight but comfortable is an ideal fit.
Your shoulder pads will be your first layer, so it is important to consider not only their protective effects but also their heat and moisture-wicking properties. Even on particularly cold days, you don’t have to worry about shoulder pads to keep warm-you can always wear an extra layer between shoulder pads and sweatshirts to increase warmth. On warm days, the thermal performance of the product is more important, because you want to ensure that wearing one under the jersey on warm days does not become uncomfortable.
The moisture-wicking properties of clothing are also very important for keeping as dry as possible in the fiercely competitive environment. All Kipsta shoulder pads include Equarea technology to help you get rid of sweat as quickly and efficiently as possible. Therefore, in terms of material, light and breathable fabric with excellent moisture permeability is an ideal choice for all seasons.
Perhaps the most important point of shoulder pads is that they cannot replace good technology.
No matter what your posture, you can’t just touch violently and expect the upholstery to protect you. Good technique must always be the most important thing, and if you can do this, rugby pads can provide more protection to prevent injuries and keep you on the court. A pair of high-quality sport pads approved by the competition are comfortable but unrestricted, and can help you maintain a dry and comfortable temperature during the competition.
