FAQ

Is the XP 250 suitable for competition?
Yes, it is certified for all levels and offers a good protection/comfort compromise for training and matches.

How do I choose my size?
Measure your head circumference above the eyebrows, compare to the Gilbert sizing guide. The extensible lacing allows fine adjustment.

How do I maintain the helmet?
Wipe after each use with a damp cloth, air dry. The mesh lining naturally evacuates moisture.

3D Hexagonal Foam and Mesh Lining

The XP 250 uses moulded EVA foam with hexagonal configuration, technology derived from Gilbert's professional helmets. This flexible 3D design distributes impacts over a wider surface while maintaining flexibility and lightness. The poly mesh lining promotes moisture evacuation, avoiding heaviness at the end of a match. Hollowed ear sections ensure maximum hearing — essential for catching calls from the scrum-half or prop during lineout play.
