R5 World Rugby Approved

Most headguards for contact sports favour tradition. Enkayse® favours performance—everywhere it counts.

Independent lab testing (300g drop at body temperature) shows:

  • Using 5mm of ®Enkayse material, recorded an average result of 72.8g across all measured regions.
  • By comparison, standard 10mm EVA foam averaged 237.7g under the same conditions.

Unlike traditional designs that rely on minimal padding and laces over critical zones, the Hedkayse R5 headguard delivers validated, full-head coverage—including the regions most often exposed and most frequently ignored.
