FAQs

Are these shorts suitable for sports other than rugby?

While designed for rugby, their durable rip-stop fabric and freedom of movement make them suitable for other sports with similar physical demands, such as training for touch rugby or certain athletic drills.

What does 'Rip-Stop' fabric mean?

Rip-stop fabric is a weaving technique that makes material more resistant to tearing and ripping. It involves reinforcing the weave with a crosshatch pattern of stronger threads, which prevents small tears from spreading.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Canterbury. For these youth shorts, consider the UK size range (7-8) and measure your child's waist and inseam for the best fit.

Can I wear compression shorts underneath?

Yes, the absence of a lining and the stretchy nature of the gussets allow for comfortable layering with compression shorts if desired.

What is the primary benefit of the stretch gusset?

The stretch gusset significantly improves freedom of movement, particularly in the crotch area and along the outer legs, allowing for better agility, flexibility, and preventing fabric strain during dynamic actions.

Do these shorts have a lining?

No, the Canterbury Advantage Game-Day Rugby Shorts do not have an inner lining.

What is the advantage of having no pockets?

The absence of pockets reduces potential snagging hazards during play and keeps the garment lightweight and streamlined, adhering to regulations for some rugby competitions.

Troubleshooting

Drawcord becomes difficult to adjust

Ensure the drawcord is not twisted. If it remains stiff, a small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to the eyelets, or the drawcord can be removed, cleaned, and reinserted.

Fabric seems less flexible after washing

Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can sometimes stiffen technical fabrics. Ensure the shorts are dried on a low heat setting or air-dried.

Seams appear to be coming undone

Inspect the seam for any snagging. If minor fraying occurs, carefully trim loose threads. For significant seam issues, contact customer support.
