LONDON, 12 August 2010 – PUMA and IRFU launch their first non white Alternative Kit.
The shirt itself features a revolutionary double layer construction. The inner layer is especially designed to lift moisture away from the skin to the outside of the garment where it can evaporate quickly, keeping the player dry.
Seams and stretch panels are strategically positioned to improve the player’s freedom of movement, especially around the torso where a Rugby player’s body needs to twist and turn constantly during a game. Also at the shoulders and across the chest so the garments don’t feel restrictive or uncomfortable when player’s are reaching for the ball or diving in for a tackle.
An athletic fit ensures each garment is as comfortable as it can be for each player, supporting the muscles as best as possible to improve confidence and reduce fatigue and reducing any unnecessary fabric that can be grabbed by an opposing player.
