Gilbert XP100 children's rugby shoulder pad black
The Gilbert XP100 shoulder pad is designed for young rugby players, beginners or experienced, who seek effective protection without sacrificing mobility. Made from 100% recycled polyester, it combines lightness and strength thanks to the XP reinforcements positioned on the shoulders and arms — areas exposed during impacts and tackles. The breathable fabric wicks away perspiration, even during intensive training sessions or matches in hot weather. Available from small to older child sizes, this unisex shoulder pad fits all body types without compressing the chest or restricting upper-body movement.
Which size should I choose for a 10-year-old child?
Refer to the Gilbert size guide based on chest circumference and height. If you are unsure between two sizes, choose the larger one to preserve freedom of movement.
Can the shoulder pad be worn under a match jersey?
Yes, its close-fitting cut and lightweight fabric allow it to be slipped under the jersey without excessive bulk or discomfort.
How do I care for the XP100 shoulder pad?
Machine wash at 30°C maximum, air dry. Avoid the tumble dryer to preserve the elasticity of the fibres and the shape of the reinforcements.
Technical specifications
Care tipsWash at 30°C on a delicate cycle to preserve the recycled fibres and maintain the fabric's elasticity. Dry flat or on a hanger, never in a machine — excessive heat would deform the XP reinforcements and reduce protective capacity. No ironing, no fabric softener. DesignThe recycled polyester used in this shoulder pad offers the same level of abrasion resistance as virgin polyester while reducing environmental impact. The XP reinforcements, positioned at typical impact points (deltoids, biceps, triceps), absorb shocks without stiffening the structure — the child retains natural range of motion to pass, tackle or run. The unisex cut avoids superfluous side seams and limits friction under the arms. The breathable fabric helps evacuate moisture, essential for maintaining concentration during intense phases of play. BrandGilbert has equipped young rugby players for decades with protection designed to evolve with the child's body. The XP range prioritises safety without weighing down the equipment, a crucial balance for growing players who need to develop their technique without being hindered by excessive armour. Gilbert's commitment to recycled materials reflects a desire to make rugby more sustainable while guaranteeing the performance expected by players and coaches. |
