Customer Reviews for Gilbert XP1000 Senior Rugby Body Armour

• 5 out of 5 Gilbert Body Armour

  Newitts Verified Purchase (21 Mar 2023)

  I bought this for my son who is returning to rugby after a broken collarbone last year.

  The armour is very well made and fits well and it has helped to build his confidence as he gets back into contact.

  My first stop for body armour is always Gilbert, and this is as good as I was expecting so well worth the price.

• 5 out of 5 Not just for Rugby

  Newitts Verified Purchase (24 Feb 2023)

  I bought this as an additional impact layer for other sporting activities I do. I find this a very comfortable way of adding a non bulky protective layer.On holiday it is easy to wash and dry overnight, saving valuable space in my travel bag. Really good quality and priced competitively at Newitts.

  Newitts Verified Purchase (7 Jun 2021)

  Spot on, all the protection in all the right places. Still light enough to not cause any change in performance

  Newitts Verified Purchase (17 Jan 2021)

  Bought these for my 16 year old to replace his previous Gilbert's which he'd battered for 3 years and finally outgrown. Expecting the same level of durability from these although the way he's now hitting the gym, he'll probably outgrow them before they wear out.
