Ensuring a proper fit for your Gilbert Vapour Headguard is crucial for both safety and comfort on the rugby field. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of the sizing recommendations to help you select the right headguard for optimal protection.

Tips for a Secure and Comfortable Fit

  • Adjustable Lace-Up Closure: The Gilbert Vapour Headguard features a lace-up closure system at the back. This allows for a more customized and secure fit. When trying on the headguard, ensure you can comfortably tighten the laces to minimize movement.
  • Cheek and Chin Straps: The adjustable chin strap is vital for keeping the headguard in place during play. It should be fastened securely, allowing for no more than two fingers to fit between the strap and your chin.
  • Snug, Not Constricting: The headguard should feel snug all around your head without being uncomfortably tight or causing pressure points. There should be no significant gaps between the padding and your head.
  • Test for Movement: Once you have the headguard on and all straps are fastened, gently try to move it from side to side and up and down. There should be minimal movement. If the headguard shifts easily, it is likely too large.

By following these measurement instructions and sizing guidelines, you can confidently choose a Gilbert Vapour Headguard that provides the best possible protection and comfort for your game.
