Technical information

Equipment that never compromises on your safety.

Offload's top goal is to keep you protected. While designs and sensations may vary based on your playing style, the level of protection you get will never change.
What does that mean exactly?
That all our shoulder pads give you the same level of protection that meets World Rugby standards.
So what's changed?
The level of comfort: with ergonomic pads, you can throw, tackle and jump with total freedom!

A product co-designed with pro players!

To create shoulder pads that are truly suitable for playing rugby, regardless of level, we asked professional players to indicate on a jersey the areas they wanted protected. After two years of work, multiple prototypes and a plethora of tests, our four-strong design team is proud to present protective equipment that was co-designed especially for rugby!

These shoulder pads meet World Rugby regulations

Play with peace of mind: all our protections comply with World Rugby regulations. These standards dictate what the foam must be made of and how dense (less than 45 kg per m3) and thick it must be (less than 1 cm).Why is there a maximum standard? To prevent excessive force during play.

What do shoulder pads co-designed with pro players give you?

A lot of carefully thought out details for your sport!
For example,
- We added a protection pad at the back collar to cover the base of your neck.
- The densest foam is at the shoulders to absorb impacts, while the foam is cut out in small areas along the shoulder blades for freedom of movement.
- The centre of the shoulder pads is made from stretchy fabric for greater flexibility while the sides are in mesh to quickly evacuate heat and perspiration.

Protection created by a team of partners:

Our design team is made up of a product manager, an engineer, a garment designer and a style designer. To give you a product suited to the pitch, they took into account the feedback from our technical partners: Jonathan Wisniewski, Juandre Kruger, Bernard Leroux and Eddy Ben Arous. Our partners help us improve our products by getting involved at every stage of the design process, and by validating them during tests that reproduce real-life playing conditions.

Our design team talks about rugby and our 900 shoulder pads:

"I often wear it during matches, I feel good in it. It both protects and reassures me; the goal is to soften impacts. It also keeps me from over-layering, since I don't have to wear a base layer underneath. I wear it against the skin to prevent catching and tearing; it's designed to hug the body. I like wearing it with protective undershorts, which gives me a feeling of freedom and safety during play."
