About Propadz
Propadz
Propadz is a brand new proprietary padded rugby shirt vest design, developed by former Professional Rugby player Sean O'Brien.
Propadz offers a unique modular panel system that allows players to easily place gel pads where needed, replacing the need for daily strapping.
Propadz delivers convenience and comfort for players, prevents overheating, and can facilitate hot/cold compression therapy options for injuries and rehabilitation.
It features a GPS tracker panel with our secure flap design to combine padding and required gameday technology freedoms. The shape of the vest sits comfortably and under any training top.
Tested to be machine washed under 40 degrees.
GPS Tracker not included.
How It Works
Elastane based 4-way stretch Vest - lightweight and breathable material to avoid excessive over-heating during game/training session.
Protective Panel slots – 7 targeted zones – modular so user can apply only as required.
Panel secure enclosures – Loop based
Silicone Non-slip Elastic Gripper Band for fit/comfort - secures the vest to the body
Gel based pads of 10mm thickness - disperses the impact force more effectively than foam based products
Sensor ready panels and pads
GPS tracker panel
What The Players Are Saying
"Loving the comfort and design of the PROPADZ. Haven’t been strapping my shoulders and still feel great protection with the silicone pads. Best shoulder pads I’ve worn."
CAELAN DORIS
Leinster & Ireland
"I haven't used shoulder pads before but I have recently started using propadz. They are the real deal. They are comfortable, customizable and I haven't had a stinger since I started using them.”
JARRAD BUTLER
Connacht & Ireland
"I’ve been using my propadz in training and games. I find they’ve protected me from my aches and pains and provided me with more confidence in contact, without the need to strap up everyday."
JOHN COONEY
Ulster & Ireland
"I like the comfort of the propadz for training and matches. I like knowing that you can rip into contact and that you're wearing the right protective pads"
