Macron XE IRB Black Rugby Headgear with EVA Padding
The Macron XE IRB headgear is designed for front-row players and forwards seeking effective protection without sacrificing comfort or sensory perception. Built to withstand repeated impacts in scrums and rucks, it combines stretchy fabric (84% polyamide / 16% elastane) with shock-absorbing EVA padding. The elastic cord closure allows personalized adjustment, keeping the headgear in place without excessive compression. The design prioritizes a wide lateral field of vision and perfect hearing — two essential criteria for anticipating opposing movements and hearing teammates' calls.
The antimicrobial lining with ventilation holes ensures continuous airflow, evacuating heat and moisture even during intense sequences. The polyamide-elastane fabric molds to the skull shape without slipping, while the EVA padding distributes impact energy over an enlarged surface. This model is suitable for both training and matches, offering certified protection without excessive rigidity. The sober black color facilitates integration into all team kits.
Is the Macron XE IRB headgear suitable for children?
This model is designed for adults and U16+ juniors. For younger categories, check size availability with the manufacturer.
How do I correctly adjust the elastic cord?
Position the headgear on your head, tighten the cord under the chin until it holds firmly without restricting breathing, then tie securely.
Does EVA padding lose its effectiveness over time?
EVA retains its properties over several seasons. Regularly inspect the thickness and replace the headgear if the padding compresses or cracks.
Technical Specifications
Care InstructionsHand wash in lukewarm water (max 30°C) with mild soap. Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue. Do not machine wash or tumble dry: heat and spinning damage the EVA padding and deform the elastane fabric. Air dry flat or hung up, away from direct sunlight. Avoid twisting the headgear. Disinfect the lining after intensive use with antibacterial textile spray to limit odors. DesignThe polyamide-elastane blend offers the elasticity needed to conform to all skull morphologies, while its abrasion resistance guarantees durability against repeated friction. EVA padding — a lightweight closed-cell material — absorbs impact energy without adding unnecessary weight or limiting cervical mobility. The perforated antimicrobial lining multiplies contact points with ambient air, accelerating perspiration evacuation and reducing bacterial proliferation responsible for odors. The elastic cord closure system, more flexible than a rigid strap, adapts instantly to tension variations during play, avoiding painful pressure points under the jaw. BrandMacron equips numerous professional clubs throughout Europe and supports national teams in their international campaigns. The Italian brand's protection range is distinguished by the integration of textile technologies from high-end sportswear — bi-stretch fabrics, multi-layer technical foams — applied to rugby's specific constraints. The XE IRB model inherits this expertise, combining lightness, anatomical fit, and protective effectiveness validated by World Rugby standards. |
