Custom Rugby Shoulder Pad Vests
ZipaSports manufactures custom rugby shoulder pad vests in Sialkot, Pakistan, with a minimum order of 20–25 pieces per design and 15–25 business day production. Clubs and academies order these for forwards and contact-heavy positions, usually branded to match the training kit rather than the match jersey.
The shell is a 240 GSM poly-spandex compression vest that holds the padding in position through contact, with foam inserts enclosed in stitched pockets across the shoulder cap, collarbone and upper chest. Pad thickness, density and coverage are built to the specification you supply, and pockets can be sewn closed or fitted with hook-and-loop so pads are removable for laundering. Shell artwork is sublimated before assembly, and mesh panels sit through the centre back and underarm for heat release. We build to your stated pad specification and do not claim certified impact protection; where a competition requires approved padding, approval testing is arranged by the buyer.
Send your logo, colours and reference designs — or just an idea — and the design studio returns a free digital mockup within 24 hours. OEM and private-label orders ship with your own woven labels, size tags and branded packaging, applied in-house.

Rugby Shoulder Pad Vests — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order for custom rugby shoulder pad vests?
20–25 pieces per design. Lower quantities are possible on request, and there is no MOQ limit for sportswear brands and companies.
What are rugby shoulder pad vests made from?
240 GSM poly-spandex compression shell; enclosed EVA foam inserts; spacer mesh back and underarm panels; flatlock seams. GRS-certified recycled fabric options are available on request.
How long does production take?
Bulk production takes 15–25 business days after design approval, with an express 7–12 day service at additional cost. A free digital mockup is delivered within 24 hours of your enquiry.
Are the pads removable for washing?
They can be. Standard construction stitches the foam into sealed pockets so nothing shifts, but we also build a hook-and-loop pocket version for clubs that run garments through an industrial laundry and prefer to take the foam out first.
What padding densities are available?
We work to the foam density and thickness you specify, in closed-cell EVA. Clubs typically choose a firmer, thinner foam for backs who want minimal bulk under the jersey, and a thicker, softer grade for front-row forwards.
Does the vest sit comfortably under a match jersey?
Yes. The shell is compression-fit with flatlock seams, and pad edges are skived so they taper rather than ending in a hard step. That keeps the outline smooth under a close-cut match jersey instead of creating visible ridges.
How much do custom rugby shoulder pad vests cost?
Pricing depends on fabric choice, order quantity, decoration and destination, so every order is quoted individually. Send your design and quantity on WhatsApp (+92 300 7019281) for a same-day quote and a free digital mockup within 24 hours.
