Some of the most popular reasons to use body armour and shoulder pads include:
- Minimising Impacts.
Contact sports always put stress on your body, all Gilbert body armour has been designed to minimise the impacts of regular contact training on your body.
- Recovery Between Sessions.
Recovery between matches and contact training is often short - 48 hours or so. Therefore, it is important to minimise impacts on your body so you can fully recover between sessions.
- Injury Recovery.
Wearing body armour when recovering from short or long term injuries help to build your confidence and integrate you back into contact training.
