Headguard by Hedkayse World Rugby approved Protect yourself on the rugby pitch with the new generation of headguards for rugby union. The Hedkayse headguard provides the most comprehensive protection for linear impacts to the head on the market today. Powered by Enkayse™ technology, the same technology to power reusable crash helmets for cylcing, ensures advanced impact absorption to help minimize chances of concussion from linear impact forces.  Importantly Hedkayse headguard has been tested at body temperature with no drop in performance.  Most scrum caps are tested at ambient temperatures, but become less protective as the pads heat up.  You do not have to worry about this with the R5.  You cannot guarantee concussion prevention, but this unit can help reduce the likelihood better than any product available today. Despite its robust protection, the R5 remains comfortable and maintains situational awareness through sound vents.  It utilizes antimicrobial fabric to keep smell at bay, but is also machine washable to allow for easy maintenance. Features: Highest reduction of linear impact forces of any headguard tested via proprietary Enkayse™ technology Stays just as protective even when warmed to body temperature Same slimline fit as regular headguards  Sound vents ensure zero reduction in situational awareness Antimicrobial fabric Machine washable World Rugby approved for match play and training Member of British Safety Industry Federation (BSIF)  Care: Machine washable - Easy clean antimicrobial fabric
