Product Information
Full details
The Rhino Pro Body Protection Top is specifically designed for rugby players seeking a balance between rigorous impact protection and athletic mobility. This protective base layer utilizes advanced dual expansion foam technology to safeguard the shoulders, biceps, and sternum during high-intensity contact, making it an ideal choice for competitive match play. While it offers excellent defensive coverage, users should note that the tight, fitted nature of the garment requires careful sizing to ensure it remains comfortable over long durations.

FAQs
Is this top suitable for other contact sports?
Yes, while designed for rugby, the impact-absorbing foam makes it suitable for other contact sports like football or martial arts training.
Can I put this in the washing machine?
It is highly recommended to hand wash to prevent the protective padding from breaking down or warping.
How tight should the fit be?
It should be fitted enough that the pads stay in place, but not so tight that it restricts your breathing or full range of arm movement.
Does the padding protect the back?
No, this specific model focuses on shoulder, bicep, and sternum protection.
What should I wear over the top?
It is designed to be worn under a standard rugby jersey or match kit.
Troubleshooting
Padding feels misaligned or shifts during movement
Ensure you are wearing the correct size and that the base layer is pulled taut against the skin before putting on your outer jersey.
Fabric irritation after heavy perspiration
Ensure the garment is washed after every use to remove salt buildup from sweat, which can cause friction and skin irritation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Rhino Pro Body Protection Top, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: Ensure a snug fit; the garment should feel like a second skin to ensure the protective foam padding aligns correctly with your joints and chest.
- Compatibility: This top is designed to be worn under a standard rugby jersey. It works best with moisture-wicking materials to prevent overheating.
- Care Instructions: Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent. Avoid machine drying, as excessive heat can cause the protective foam to deform or lose its density. Air dry flat in the shade to protect the fabric fibers and structural integrity of the padding.
