Is Body Armour the same as Under Armour?

No. Body Armour is a dedicated rugby equipment brand from New Zealand with no connection to Under Armour, the American sportswear company. The two brands are completely separate.

Are Body Armour headguards World Rugby approved?

Yes. Body Armour headguards comply with World Rugby regulation 12, which governs the use of headgear in rugby union.

What is the difference between the Ventilator and the Airflow?

The construction differs slightly between the two models - the Airflow is designed to promote airflow through the headguard during play. The Ventilator comes in a wider range of colourways across adult and junior sizes, while the Airflow is available in pink and black in adult and junior sizing.

How do I size a Body Armour headguard?

Measure around the widest part of your head, just above your ears and eyebrows, then match to the size guide below. Size Circumference MB (Medium Boys) 52.5cm / 20.5" LB (Large Boys) 54cm / 21" S (Small) 55cm / 21.5" M (Medium) 57cm / 22.5" L (Large) 58.5cm / 23" XL (Extra Large) 60cm / 23.5" If you are between sizes, size down rather than up - a headguard that moves around during play is more of a problem than one that feels firm. Body Armour headguards also give a little with wear, so a snug fit at first will ease in over time.

Body Armour Rugby Headguards & Scrum Caps

Body Armour Headguards & Scrum Caps

Body Armour are a New Zealand rugby brand that have built a strong reputation for headguard design, particularly for the range of colourways they offer compared to most competitors. Their headguards are World Rugby approved and widely used at club and grassroots level.

Body Armour Ventilator Headguard

The Ventilator is Body Armour's gold standard headguard, available in adult and junior sizing across a wide range of colourways. The open-panel design is built to improve airflow and reduce heat during play, while still providing foam protection across the crown and ears. It's one of the more popular headguards we stock, largely because of the colourway options - players can match club colours more easily.

Body Armour Airflow Headguard

The Airflow is Body Armour's flagship headguard model, available in pink and black in both adult and junior sizing. Like the Ventilator it's designed with ventilation in mind, making it a practical choice for players who find standard headguards uncomfortable in warm conditions.
