Men's Gilbert Saracen V3 white rugby shorts

These Gilbert Saracen V3 white men's rugby shorts are made for demanding players seeking lightness and durability. Breathable, quick-drying fabric, elasticated waist with drawstring (adult), reinforced seams at stress points: everything is designed to withstand impacts and repeated game phases. Tailored fit that doesn't ride up in the scrum, mid-thigh length that leaves the stride free. Suitable for both rugby sevens and fifteen-a-side, from club level to national competitions.

Which size should I choose for 1.80 m and 80 kg?

Care tips

Wash at 30 °C maximum, inside out, with similar colours. No tumble drying: air drying preserves the waistband's elasticity and seam strength. No ironing needed, polyester doesn't crease.

Design

Gilbert designed the Saracen V3 to meet the demands of modern rugby: ultra-light 100% polyester fabric that wicks sweat without weighing the shorts down, even at the end of a match. Reinforced seams at the buttocks and crotch withstand tackles and slides. The elasticated drawstring waist (adult) allows an individual fit without excessive compression: the shorts stay in place without restricting abdominal breathing. Mid-thigh cut frees the quadriceps when running and doesn't ride up during rucks. Designed for rugby sevens, where lightness counts double, but equally effective in fifteens.

Brand

Founded in 1823 in Rugby (England), Gilbert made the first oval ball in history and has equipped the greatest nations for two centuries. The brand develops each range in collaboration with professional clubs: the Saracen V3 inherits this field-tested expertise, proven in the Premiership and international competitions. "The choice of champions": a slogan that reflects the technical standards of a brand present on all the reference pitches.
