Description
Overview
The Silver Fern Contact Suit with Legs is the junior contact suit in the Silver Fern range, and the version with leg coverage. A young player wears it to be tackled, hit and wrapped at training so the rest of the squad can practise technique at full commitment.
Silver Fern describes it as light and durable, with high protection and full mobility, so the wearer can still run, step and go to ground. It is made to order and delivered on a freight quote.
Key benefits
- Lets juniors train tackling on a live, moving target rather than a bag.
- Wearer keeps full mobility, so drills stay realistic.
- Legs are covered as well as the body, unlike the top-only suits.
- Light and durable for repeated sessions across a season.
Who it's for
Junior rugby union and rugby league teams at school or club level running tackle training. With the body and legs both covered, coaches can work on low tackles and wraps with the wearer moving at pace.
The Silver Fern Contact Suit – W/ Legs is the other legged version in the range; check with the team which fits your age group. For a top on its own, see the Silver Fern Contact Suit Top.
Care, safety and set-up
Made to order, so manufacture starts after you order, and it ships as a freight item. Let the suit air dry after sessions and store it out of direct sun.
