The science of padding
Independent research has found that padding can reduce peak tackle forces in rugby by around 40% where the pad sits (Pain, Tsui & Cove, Journal of Sports Sciences, 2008). That's why the C1 places its hex foam padding over the areas that take the most contact: the chest, ribs and sides.
