Body armour is fast becoming an indispensable piece of kit for rugby players. Armour has been a feature of the sport for the last two decades. When purchasing body armour, you should look for equipment that provides you with total comfort and protection on the pitch. You also want durability and toughness as you want your armour to withstand the tough conditions associated with rugby. The areas most vulnerable to injury are the shoulders and the chest, which often take much of the impact in tackles, so it's critical these areas are well protected. Make sure it fits you well, otherwise it will be extremely uncomfortable on the pitch, as well as increasing your chance of picking up an injury. But remember, wearing body protection doesn't mean you are invincible and can do things others players can't - you'll do yourself more damage if you think like that. Some things to look out for when looking for rugby body armour are: - Breathable fabric to keep you cool - Made from very strong and lightweight materials - Comfortable fitting Head Protection Ever since rugby turned professional in the mid 1990s there are strict laws about using protective equipment on the pitch. Head protection is usually made from light synthetic materials capable of stopping serious impact. They're often used by front row forwards to prevent blows to the head and damage to their ears when in scrums or mauls. The most important thing to remember if you want to wear head protection is to make sure it is comfortable - otherwise it will cause unwanted pain and injury. If the head protection moves when you shake your head, then it does not fit you properly.
