Men's Rugby Shoulder Pads Full H 900

Offload's top goal is to keep you protected. While designs and sensations may vary based on your playing style, the level of protection you get will never change. What does that mean exactly? That all our shoulder pads give you the same level of protection that meets World Rugby standards. So what's changed? The level of comfort: with ergonomic pads, you can throw, tackle and jump with total freedom!

To create shoulder pads that are truly suitable for playing rugby, regardless of level, we asked professional players to indicate on a jersey the areas they wanted protected. After 2 years of work, multiple prototypes and a plethora of tests, our 4-strong design team is proud to present protective equipment that was co-designed especially for rugby!

No need to worry during your matches: all our protections comply with World Rugby regulations. These standards dictate what the foam must be made of and how dense (less than 99.2 lbs. per m3) and thick it must be (less than 0.4"). Why is there a maximum standard? To prevent excessive force during play.

A lot of carefully thought out details for your sport! For example, - We added a protection pad at the back collar to cover the base of your neck. - The densest foam is at the shoulders to absorb impacts, while the foam is cut out in small areas along the shoulder blades for freedom of movement. - The center of the shoulder pads is made from stretchy fabric for greater flexibility while the sides are in mesh to quickly evacuate heat and perspiration.

Our design team is made up of a product manager, an engineer, a garment designer and a style designer. To give you a product suited to the pitch, they took into account the feedback from our technical partners: Jonathan Wisniewski, Juandre Kruger, Bernard Leroux and Eddy Ben Arous. Our partners help us improve our products by getting involved at every stage of the design process, and by validating them during tests that reproduce real-life playing conditions.

"I often wear this product during matches, I feel good in it. It both protects and reassures me: the aim is to soften impacts. It also keeps you from overlayering: you don't need to put a base layer on underneath. You wear it against the skin to prevent catching or tearing. It's designed to be slim fitting."
