XP1000 Junior Body Armour

The XP1000 Junior Body Armour by Gilbert is one of the most advanced and versatile shoulder pad systems available today, delivering exceptional protection without compromising on comfort or freedom of movement.

Engineered with an ergonomic panel structure, the XP1000 moves fluidly with the body — offering young athletes a "second-skin" feel that doesn't restrict their play. Whether in training or match conditions, this armour adapts to movement while providing the confidence to face every collision.

Gilbert’s 3D-moulded padding system ensures full coverage and impressive shock absorption, while maintaining a lightweight and flexible fit. The high-performance compression fabric supports muscle groups and promotes blood circulation, helping to improve endurance and recovery.

To further enhance comfort, the XP1000 features 4-way stretch zones for unrestricted motion and quick moisture wicking. This keeps the body dry, cool, and focused — eliminating post-play chills and discomfort.
