How to compare rugby headguards using seven essential checks: brain protection, rotational-force reduction, independent testing, comfort, hearing, vision, secure fit and product lifespan.

Children should wear brain protection as soon as they start sport where head impacts can occur. Learn why sub-concussions, rotational force and lifetime exposure matter.

What is the best rugby headguard for kids? Learn how scrum caps, rugby headguards and brain protection differ, and what parents should compare.

Rugby has major physical, social and psychological benefits. But neuroscience is increasingly clear that repeated head impacts, rotational forces and sub-concussive events need to be taken seriously, especially in children. This article explains what the evidence says, why traditional scrum caps are not designed to protect the brain, and how Rezon Halos® Rugby Headguard is designed for a different category of protection.

Much of the criticism of head protection relies on outdated assumptions and legacy products never designed to protect the brain. Here is why modern biomechanical testing, cumulative-load science, and advanced neuroimaging matter more.

What the Wake Forest study revealed about brain changes in children after a single season of sport; why sub-concussive impacts matter; and how parents can better protect a child’s brain.
