The Problem With Most Rugby Headgear
For years, parents have relied on traditional scrum caps, thinking they were doing the right thing to protect their kids.
But here’s what many don’t realise:
Scrum caps were never designed to prevent concussion. They’re built to reduce cuts and abrasions—not absorb force from high-impact tackles.
As rugby gets faster and more physical, more parents are asking:
“Is this really enough?”
The Safer Solution Gaining Ground in Youth Leagues
That question led to the creation of N‑Pro.
A new design of rugby headguard developed by an Irish company, now being worn by kids in elite academies and junior leagues globally.
Unlike traditional caps, N‑Pro uses Defentex™, a patented multilayer foam technology that’s been lab-tested to reduce G-force impact by up to 75%.
It’s lightweight, breathable, and CE-certified—backed by clinical research and currently taking part in a global headgear trial with World Rugby.
What Parents Are Really Looking For
It’s not just about gear. It’s about knowing your child is genuinely protected.
Peace of mind on the sideline.
You’ll know you’ve done everything to keep them safer. So you can focus on the game, not the ‘what ifs’.
Built to reduce head trauma. Not just scrapes.
Most headgear protects the surface. N‑PRO protects what matters most. Their wellbeing on and off the field.
Something your child will actually want to wear.
No more morning battles or last-minute gear refusals. N‑Pro is soft, breathable, and designed to stay comfortable. Even in the middle of a hard-fought match.
The reassurance you’ve done everything you can.
Real protection they’ll actually wear. So you stress less, and they stay safer every time they step on the field.
