What Is a Rugby Contact Top?

A rugby contact top is a close-fitting padded training top that provides lightweight shoulder, chest, and sometimes rib protection during contact play. Unlike a full protection vest worn under a jersey, a contact top is typically worn as an outer layer during training sessions and is designed to be durable enough to withstand repeated contact without restricting movement or overheating the player. Contact tops are widely used in Irish club and school rugby training as a practical, comfortable alternative to full protection vests.
