Equipment that doesn't compromise on safety.
Protecting you effectively isOffload's primary objective. The design or feel may vary according to your needs or style of play, but the level of protection remains the same.
What does that mean?
All our shoulder pads offer the same level of protection, in compliance with World Rugby standards.
So what's different?
Here, comfort: with ergonomic pads, you can pass, tackle or jump into touch without any constraint on movement!
A product and a map co-designed with pro players!
To offer a shoulder pad that's truly adapted to the game of rugby, whatever the level, we asked professional players to draw on a jersey the areas where they wanted to be protected. And after 2 years' work, prototypes and lots of testing, our 4-strong design team is proud to present you with protective equipment that has been co-designed and designed for the game!
Your shoulder pad complies with international federation standards.
Play with peace of mind, even during matches: all our protections comply with World Rugby regulations (the international rugby federation). This standard imposes rules on foam composition in terms of density (less than 45 kg per M3) and thickness (less than 1 cm).
So why a maximum standard? To avoid over-commitment to the game.
What does a shoulder pad co-designed with pro players look like?
Many details designed for the game and for your practice!
For example?
- We've added a protective pad on the back of the collar to cover the nape of the neck.
- The foam is denser on the shoulders to absorb impact, and cut into smaller zones on the shoulder blades for greater freedom of movement.
- The central part of the shoulder pad is made of elastic fabric for greater flexibility, and the sides are made of breathable mesh to evacuate heat and perspiration more quickly.
Protection, a team and partners:
Our design team is made up of a product manager, an engineer, a model maker and a designer. And to offer you a product adapted to the terrain, they have taken into account feedback from our technical partners: Jonathan Wisniewski, Juandre Kruger, Bernard Leroux and Eddy Ben Arous. Our partners help us to improve our products by taking part in all stages of the design process and validating them in tests that reproduce all game situations.
Our design team tells you all about rugby and the 900 shoulder pad:
"I wear it a lot in matches, and I feel good in it. It protects and reassures at the same time: the aim is to soften shocks. And it helps you avoid layering: you don't need to wear underwear underneath. The trick is to wear it close to the body, to avoid snagging or tearing. It's designed to be form-fitting. And to complete my outfit, I also wear the protective undershorts. That way, I feel free to play, in complete safety!"
