FAQs

What kind of protection does this top offer?

It offers impact protection for the shoulders, biceps, and sternum through strategically placed EVA padding combined with lightweight Dual Expansion Foam Technology.

Is this top suitable for all levels of rugby players?

Yes, it is suitable for players at various levels who require additional upper body protection during contact.

Can I wear this under my team jersey?

Yes, it is designed with a snug fit and low profile to be worn comfortably beneath rugby shirts or training kits.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the product's sizing chart, typically based on chest measurements, to select the most appropriate size for a snug, effective fit.

How should I clean the body protection top?

It is recommended to hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent, then air dry. Avoid tumble drying.

Is the padding removable?

The padding is integrated into the garment and is not designed to be removed.

What is Dual Expansion Foam Technology?

This is a proprietary foam used by Rhino that is very lightweight while providing excellent shock absorption and memory retention.

Troubleshooting

Padding feels stiff or misaligned

Ensure the garment is worn correctly with padding positioned over the intended body areas. Allow the garment to warm up to body temperature; the foam will become more pliable with use.

Garment feels too tight

Verify you have selected the correct size. While designed for a snug fit, if it's excessively restrictive, consider if a size up might be more suitable. Refer to the sizing chart.

Foam padding retains odor after washing

Use a small amount of specialized sports gear cleaner or a diluted vinegar solution during the wash cycle. Ensure the garment is thoroughly aired out after drying.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides significant protection to vital upper body areas.
  • Lightweight materials do not impede movement.
  • Secure fit keeps padding effective during play.
  • Can be worn discreetly under uniforms.
  • Durable construction for frequent use.

Cons

  • The snug fit might feel tight for players preferring a looser feel.
  • Primarily focused on upper body protection; does not cover the back extensively.
  • Requires careful sizing to ensure optimal fit and performance.
  • Padding may retain heat during prolonged activity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This is a protective garment designed to be worn. Simply put it on like a regular shirt. Ensure the padding aligns correctly with your shoulders, biceps, and sternum for optimal protection. The snug fit should conform to your body.

Compatibility: The Rhino Pro Body Protection Top is designed to fit comfortably beneath standard rugby shirts, training kits, or other athletic apparel. Its low profile allows for layering without significant bulk.

Care:

  1. Washing: Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle using cold water and mild detergent.
  2. Drying: Air dry only. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the foam padding and synthetic materials. Lay flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding the padding excessively, which could affect its shape and performance.
