## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product but a bit big!
*by M***. on 15 January 2025*

Nice product but a bit big for my10yr old. He will wear a few layers underneath to bulk out.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great padding -  size guide from Optimum is accurate
*by G***S on 9 September 2018*

Bought for my son. This top has really good padding without being too heavy. Having read all of the “tall skinny boys” of various ages reviews I wasn’t sure what size to get but opted for the small. My sons age is irrelevant but he is 152cm tall,has a 32in chest and is 26cm across the shoulders. The chest and shoulder size is crucial. If the chest is any smaller than 32in then get the mini one to ensure a good fit - better to be tight in the chest and shoulders than really lose. The small fits my son tightly enough but there is some growing room there as per the size guide (small is 32-34). Hopefully that helps others who are not sure about the size. What I can say is that this top appears to be very good quality and the padding is more than adequate. Padding won’t help you boys or girls play better or avoid them getting hurt sometimes but what it does do is give them more confidence to execute a tackle properly and therefore have less chance of being hurt as a result.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Protective rugby top
*by T***E on 23 June 2024*

Much lighter than I thought , was expecting material to be thicker.Fitted nicely when on and looked good . Protection wise coververd the main areas gave moderate protection. Price point was reasonable. Not winter wear
