Play Armour is a lightweight padded protective top for kids aged 5–12, designed for rugby, rugby league, and high-impact contact sports. It provides flexible, impact-resistant protection over key areas while allowing full freedom of movement under jerseys.

Designed to be worn comfortably during training and games, Play Armour helps absorb impact without restricting how kids move, run, tackle, or play, giving parents added peace of mind.

Key features:

  • Lightweight EVA foam impact padding
  • Targeted protection across the chest, shoulders, ribs, collarbone, and back
  • Comfortable under-jersey fit for rugby, rugby league, and contact sports
  • Ideal protective gear for youth rugby players

Size & Safety Notice
Play Armour is designed to help reduce impact during play but cannot prevent all injuries. Contact and high-impact sports carry an inherent risk of injury. For the best fit and protection, please select sizing based on measurements rather than age alone. Children's builds vary, and some may require a larger size for comfort and growth. If your child is between sizes, we recommend sizing up.

I can’t recommend Play Armour enough! ❤️

Tracey, the owner, was absolutely amazing. I needed a shirt urgently for my son’s upcoming tournament, so I reached out to her on Tuesday. Being based in West Auckland, she was able to drop by. Tracey went above and beyond to make it happen for us.

It was so lovely meeting her in person. You can immediately tell that she really knows her product and, more importantly, that she is genuinely passionate about kids’ safety and helping protect them while they play the sports they love.

My son absolutely loves his Play Armour! He’s playing contact for the first time and having that extra protection has definitely helped him feel more confident on the field. As a mum, that peace of mind means so much. ❤️

Thank you so much, Tracey, for helping us out at such short notice and for creating something that gives our kids a little more confidence and protection.

We’ll definitely be recommending Play Armour and supporting this awesome local business! 💪

With love, Robyn ( Elijah’s Mum)

It’s warm, comfortable and worth the money.

High quality and according to my 10yr old, pretty comfortable too. He loves that it isn’t obvious that he’s wearing pads underneath his playing jersey like it is with the more mainstream brands. Highly recommend!

Great service, fantastic quality product - especially for a smaller build kid. Nothing on the market like it, have recommended to all the sideline mums!

This padded vest is one of the best we have come across. Covers more of the upper body than most other padded vests out there. Very good quality and my son loves it.

Great to find a padded top to fit a smaller child. Everything else we tried was too big. Tracey was so good to deal with and answered my many questions! Thanks so much.

Love the shoulder pads, seem to be doing the trick and they fit my boy really well. Will definitely be buying the next size once he's bigger. Once he actually starts tackling will take some clips and send through to you fellas.

Playarmour gives an extra layer of safety for my 7 year old boy. I’ve been trying to find something that fits best for high impact sport like rugby league and this shirt is exactly what we were looking for. My son feels more confident tackling then ever before.

Bought as a birthday present for twin Grandsons. They are looking forward to wearing them as soon as the rugby season starts.
Wonderful service from Tracy to get me the tops at short notice plus she made it very easy and convenient to swap for a smaller size.
Happy to recommend Play Armour.
