Technical specifications

Maintenance advice

Clean the ball after each outdoor use with a damp cloth and lukewarm water, without aggressive detergent. Dry in open air, never in direct sunlight or near a radiator (risk of covering deformation). Store partially deflated in a dry place, away from light. Check pressure before each session and re-inflate if necessary — an under-inflated ball loses passing accuracy and deforms prematurely.

Design

The 3-ply covering superimposes three layers of synthetic material to absorb shocks and maintain ball sphericity despite repeated tackles and kicks. Grip Control technology incorporates micro-reliefs on the external surface, increasing finger grip during passes in rain or mud — a decisive advantage during winter training in Catalonia or on waterlogged pitches. The reinforced valve limits air leaks and ensures stable pressure over several weeks. Gilbert applies the same manufacturing processes as for its official competition balls, at an accessible price for daily training.

USAP Perpignan

Union Sportive Arlequins Perpignanais competes in the Top 14 and embodies Catalan rugby since 1902. Based at the Aimé-Giral stadium, the club cultivates a strong Mediterranean identity, with popular fervour recognized throughout the French championship. This replica ball adopts the club's blood-and-gold colours, allowing amateur players to train in the same colours as the professional team.
