"Choosing the Right Gear: How Propadz stands up against traditional Body and Shoulder Pads"

In the physically demanding sport of rugby, the right protective gear is not just a necessity, it's a game-changer. With a plethora of options available, choosing the best body and shoulder pads can be overwhelming. This guide will compare traditional foam pad full jersey undershirts with the innovative ProPadz, highlighting the benefits and advancements in modern rugby gear.




 

Traditionally, rugby players rely on strapping or a Foam Pad full jersey undershirts or strapping to protect their shoulders and upper torso.


With Strapping, players tape gel pads to their shoulders prior to each training session and before each game, a time-consuming process that used time, tape and harmful adhesive spray.  These pads were prone to coming off after sweating.


Foam Pad undershirts offer a uniform layer of protection across key areas. However, they come with certain limitations:


  • Weight and Breathability: Often, these jerseys can be heavy and lack sufficient breathability, leading to overheating during intense play.

  • One-Size-Fits-All Protection: The foam pads are fixed, offering a generalized rather than targeted protection, which may not suit every player's needs.

  • Movement and Comfort: These jerseys can sometimes restrict movement and may not conform perfectly to every player's body shape or they are loose fitting so pads don’t stay where you need them.

Traditional foam padding has not been favored by professionals as protection.
