How does it differ from other rugby headgear?

N-Pro may look like other rugby headgear, but it performs very differently. Current head guards are designed to prevent cuts, abrasions and “cauliflower ears”; they only provide minimal impact protection.

  • N-Pro has been scientifically proven to reduce the G-Force impact transferred to a player's head
  • No other head guard on the market has adopted an evidence-based approach to product design, or been tested to this extent
  • N-Pro has a replaceable chin strap, another first for rugby head guards

As part of N-Pro’s product design process, in addition to addressing its primary function in relation to reducing head trauma, we consulted with both professional and amateur players regarding usability issues to ensure that N-Pro would also be user-friendly product.
