Womens Rugby Compression Tops
Canterbury and Atak both produce womens compression tops cut specifically for female players rather than scaled-down mens fits. They're long sleeve, close-fitting, and designed to sit under a match shirt without restricting movement. Atak's broad colour range makes team matching straightforward; Canterbury's range covers thermal and standard compression options.
Womens Rugby Leggings and Thermal Tights
Womens rugby leggings and compression tights work well as a training layer or under match shorts in colder conditions. As with the tops, Atak's colour range gives flexibility for club matching while Canterbury covers the thermal end of the market well.
Rugby Leggings and the World Rugby Law Change
World Rugby updated their laws to permit players to wear leggings during matches - a change that's been particularly welcomed at grassroots womens rugby level where 3G pitches are increasingly common. Leggings provide meaningful protection against skin abrasion on the knees and legs when going to ground on synthetic surfaces, making them a practical addition beyond just warmth.
