Gilbert Photon children's rugby rain trousers navy blue

The Gilbert Photon rain trousers are designed for young rugby players who train and play in all weather conditions. Woven in 100% polyester, they offer waterproof protection against rain while remaining lightweight and non-restrictive. Their comfortable fit allows them to be worn over a match or training short without hindering movement. The Gilbert logo embroidered on the right thigh confirms the product's authenticity and the brand's commitment to equipping young players.

These trousers are suitable for pre-match arrivals, warm-ups in the rain, travel along the touchline or simply to show your passion for rugby at sporting events. The navy blue colour makes them compatible with most club kits and avoids visible dirt marks.

What size should I choose for a 12-year-old child?

The 12-year size suits an average build. For a more developed build or for use over several seasons, it is advisable to choose the next size up.

Are the trousers completely waterproof?

The treated polyester effectively resists light rain and moderate showers. In prolonged heavy rain, moisture may eventually soak through.

Can they be machine washed?

Yes, wash at 30°C maximum on a delicate cycle. Do not use fabric softener or a tumble dryer to preserve the fabric's properties.

Care instructions

Hand wash or machine wash at 30°C maximum, delicate cycle. Do not use fabric softener, which alters the properties of the polyester. Air dry only, no tumble dryer. Iron on a low setting if necessary, without pressing directly on the embroidered logo. Avoid prolonged contact with rough surfaces to preserve the integrity of the fabric.

Design

100% polyester was chosen for its ability to dry quickly and repel water without weighing down the garment. Unlike blended fabrics, this pure synthetic fibre retains its properties even after repeated washing. The straight cut allows the trousers to be layered over playing kit without excessive compression, while remaining fitted to limit wind catch. The elasticated waistband provides secure fit without an additional belt, making them quick to put on at the touchline. The embroidered rather than screen-printed logo ensures better durability over time, even under rain and friction.

The British brand has developed a range dedicated to young players, combining durability with affordable value for money. The Photon model fits this approach: a simple, functional product designed to withstand the real conditions of use in rugby schools and amateur clubs.
