Rugby is a dynamic and spectacular sport that places high demands on players in terms of physical fitness.

The form used in American football, a type of rugby, is complemented by a frame.
This need is due to the more aggressive behavior of the players on the field.
The frame is formed by polymer plates and pillows located inside.
Such a system significantly softens the blows that fall on the player’s body.
Gloves of each rugby player have their own characteristics. For receivers, softer products with a special coating are used, thanks to which the ball is well held in the hands. Linemen have tighter gloves that can better protect their hands when falling and contacting opponents on the field.
