Razor Headguard Questions, Answered
What does a scrum cap protect against?
The Razor headguard helps protect the head and ears against minor cuts and scuffs. It is not designed to prevent concussion or other head injuries, and no headguard can.
Is it World Rugby approved?
Yes. It's World Rugby approved for training and match play, from junior sessions to senior league fixtures.
Which size should I choose?
Measure around the head just above the eyebrows and ears, then use the size finder above. Head sizes run from 52 cm (XXS) to 62 cm (L). If you're between sizes, choose the larger one.
How should it fit?
Snug, so the padding sits close to the head and doesn't move during play. Tighten the strap so it's secure but comfortable.
Which colours are available?
Silver, Red and Blue. All three are the same headguard with the same padding and fastening.
Can I order for my whole team?
Yes. Choose the sizes you need here, or for larger squad orders use our bulk enquiry form and our team will send a quote.
How quickly will it arrive?
Orders placed by 2pm Monday to Friday are dispatched the same day. Standard UK mainland delivery is free on orders over £35 and takes 2–5 working days.
What if it doesn't fit?
Return it unused and unworn in its original packaging within 30 days of receipt for a full refund, then place a new order for the size you need. Orders placed between 1 October and 31 December can be returned until 31 January.
