Gilbert Argentina Replica Rugby Ball Size 5
This Argentina replica ball size 5 is designed for amateur players, departmental to regional level clubs, and Pumas enthusiasts seeking a reliable training ball. 3-ply rubber covering to absorb impacts on hard or synthetic ground, synthetic latex bladder guaranteeing superior air retention compared to natural latex (less frequent re-inflation). Regulatory adult size 5 (length 28-30 cm), comfortable grip, predictable rebounds. Suitable for technical drills, passes, touch games, small matches — not designed for official competition (see Match ranges for that). Gilbert logo and Argentine shield screen-printed in high definition, abrasion-resistant.
What inflation pressure for this ball?
Recommended pressure is 0.67 to 0.70 bar (9.5-10 psi). Use a pump with pressure gauge to avoid over-inflation which weakens the bladder.
Synthetic or natural latex bladder: what's the difference?
Synthetic latex retains air better (re-inflation every 2-3 weeks versus weekly for natural latex), but offers slightly less flexible feel. Ideal compromise for regular use.
Can you play with this ball on asphalt?
Rubber tolerates asphalt occasionally, but grass or synthetic surfaces are preferred to maximize lifespan. Avoid rough surfaces like gravel.
Technical Specifications
Care TipsClean with warm soapy water after each use on muddy ground, dry with soft cloth. Never leave in direct sunlight (risk of rubber warping) or store at maximum pressure (damages bladder). Check pressure before each session, re-inflate gradually without exceeding 0.70 bar. Store in dry, temperate location, ball slightly deflated during off-season. DesignThe 3-ply construction layers three rubber sheets reinforced by internal textile weave, guaranteeing consistent sphericity even after thousands of passes. The synthetic latex bladder offers 30% superior air retention compared to standard natural latex, reducing stops for re-inflation during sessions. Micro-textured surface for optimal grip in wet hands, thermally bonded panels (no protruding seams unbalancing trajectory). Gilbert applies here the same dimensional standards as its Match balls, but substitutes leather/composite with economical rubber — intelligent compromise for club budgets. Argentina TeamThe Argentine Pumas compete in the Championship and regularly face major rugby nations worldwide. Their light blue and white striped jersey is one of the most recognizable, symbol of physical play and formidable conquest. This replica ball features the UAR crest (Unión Argentina de Rugby), allowing supporters and amateur players to train in the colors of this emblematic South American selection. Gilbert BrandFounded in 1823 in Rugby (England), Gilbert manufactures the official Rugby World Cup ball since 1995. The Replica range translates this expertise into an accessible version: same regulatory dimensions, materials suited to intensive non-professional use. Gilbert also equips numerous national federations and championships, guaranteeing reliable ball geometry for progress in technical skills. |
