Atomic V3 Kids Rugby Shoulder Pad Black Blue Gilbert
The Gilbert Atomic V3 shoulder pad is designed for young rugby players aged 6 to 14 who seek approved protection for club play. Compliant with IRB (World Rugby) standards, it combines high-density EVA foam on the shoulders and sternum with breathable stretch fabric that ensures freedom of movement and thermal comfort. The fitted cut, specifically adapted to children's body shape, provides secure support without slipping during play.
The hook-and-loop fastening system makes it easy for children to put on and remove independently, a feature appreciated by parents and coaches alike. The lateral reinforcements extend the protection zone without hindering technical movements. The black and blue colour adds style while remaining discreet under the jersey.
What size should I choose for a 10-year-old child?
The Kids size fits ages 6 to 14 approximately, depending on build. Check the chest circumference: the shoulder pad should fit snugly without compressing.
Is the shoulder pad approved for competition?
Yes, it is IRB (World Rugby) approved and can be worn in official matches, provided regulatory thickness requirements are met.
How do I wash the shoulder pad without damaging it?
Hand wash at 30°C recommended, air dry flat. Avoid tumble drying as it can damage the EVA foam.
Care InstructionsPrefer hand washing in lukewarm water (maximum 30°C) with mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue. Dry flat, away from any direct heat source. EVA foam retains its shock-absorption properties if not exposed to high temperatures. Do not iron. DesignGilbert designed the Atomic V3 around high-density EVA foam that absorbs impacts while remaining lightweight. The stretch fabric surrounding the reinforcements wicks away perspiration and adapts to the young player's movements without creating friction points. The lateral panels extend protection towards the ribs, an area exposed during ground contact. The Kids cut, shorter and more fitted than adult models, follows the silhouette without riding up during play phases. The hook-and-loop fastening system, positioned on the side, allows children to put on and remove the shoulder pad independently, promoting autonomy during training. BrandGilbert, the historic rugby ball manufacturer since 1823, extended its expertise to protective equipment in the 1990s. The Atomic range, regularly updated, incorporates feedback from rugby schools and World Rugby regulatory developments. Version V3 benefits from an optimised foam-to-fabric ratio to deliver IRB-approved protection and breathable comfort, two determining criteria for youth play. |
