The importance of headgear for rugby players

Sports24seven supports the inclusive and safe play of all sports! However, some sports can be rougher than others like Rugby, Hockey, and Soccer that are contact sports.

Stay Safe

We know that to perform well and at your best, you need to feel comfortable and safe.

 

This is particularly true for Rugby! That’s why today we’ll be touching on why headgear is so important. 

 

It’s important to note that headgear does not prevent concussions and so no rugby player should don the apparel only to think they can play recklessly. Rather, headgear is excellent to protect players from cuts, and abrasions and of course to provide ear protection. Headgear helps prevent that dreaded cauliflower ear that many rugby players are inflicted with. 

 

Rugby headgear helps to prevent soft tissue injuries to the head and ears and has proven effective in reducing lacerations and the risk of ear damage as it neatly covers your ears. Wearing headgear also protects your hair, both stopping it from impeding your vision and from being pulled on in order to drag a player to the ground. 

 

If you are looking for top-quality headgear, as well as other protective gear such as mouthguards, vests, shorts, and more then visit our rugby section!
