Gilbert Kiwi Pro Rugby Short

These rock. I bought my first pair about a month ago and have been wearing them every day since. They are comfortable, particularly for the summer. They are short enough to not cover too much of your leg, the sturdiness of the cloth helps them stay off your legs to give more breathing room, they cotton itself is a breathable cool material, and there's plenty of space in the crotch area for good airflow. These are the ideal summer shorts. They also look good. I have black and white. The white pair is thick enough so that the color of my boxers does not come through much, unlike most white shorts. They are STURDY. The elastic holds up very well so I can put heavy things in my pockets and they won't slide down even if the string is not tied. The pockets are a good size as well. I'm 6'6" with 36" waist and went with XL for my first pair, but then XXL for my second pair, which was a better choice. XL works fine too but is just slightly tighter. The XXL fit me perfectly and also were slightly longer so they do a better job of covering my boxers. The only con I can think of is that the orientation of the pockets causes my phone and/or wallet to slide out of the pocket almost every time I sit down.

I recently purchased a pair of canvas rugby shorts, and I couldn't be more pleased with their quality and performance. The canvas material is exceptionally durable, able to withstand the rough and tumble of intense games without showing signs of wear. The fit is comfortable and allows for a full range of motion, which is crucial for agility on the field. Additionally, the shorts feature reinforced stitching, ensuring they hold up well over time. They also have a classic, stylish look that complements any rugby kit. Overall, these canvas rugby shorts are an excellent investment for any rugby player looking for reliable and long-lasting gear.

Gave as a gift, based on another favorite (the wearer got it in a swap) that is the absolute most worn clothing item of that person. He does not play rugby, but he looks like he might, and these are fantastic. Worth the $$. Super sturdy, comfy, well made. If you are dithering between a cheaper pair and these, just get these.

Good Quality, be aware of the Fit, like almost every other pair of rugby shorts these will run on the smaller side. played the season no tears or rips, good mobility for running pretty comfortable.

Well made 100% thick cotton rugby shorts with pockets. Inseam is not long but it is authentic. Fit is accurate although they may stretch with repeated wear. Soft enough to allow wear as one would wear a kilt. Pockets are deep and useful they hold phones safely walking or lifting weights. Use these as everyday and gym wear. The fabric accepts dye well allowing for some really nice colors.

Love the fabric, the size it’s nice, and it fits good.

Tough, soften up with washing. Usable pockets. Long enough legs so that men can wear them as bathing suits without a liner. Good emergency shorts for traveling, wearing while doing laundry. Slowly fade to charcoal after several hundred washings. Very elastic waistband, so go a little large if leg length matters to you, they’ll still fit. All cotton. Feels good in hot weather. Will pass as underwear and wash in a sink if necessary. Good to have.

I’m new to the sport of Rugby and needed to get kitted out in order to train/play. I know the brand Gilbert for their rugby balls, but didn’t know much about choosing shorts. I am VERY pleased with these shorts and found the material and craftsmanship unbeatable! I bought a size Large which worked well for me but they run a tad smaller than labeled. They are well made and seem very durable. This is a rough sport and requires tough shorts! These Gilbert Kiwis are the Best Buy and will likely last a LONG TIME ! I highly recommend these !! Post note: I neglected to mention the deep pockets which are great for holding a mouth guard during non-play or a phone after playing. Other shorts’ pockets are shallow and don’t keep items secure.
