Our main suppliers for Rugby, include Canterbuy, Gilbert, Kooga, Puma and Adidas. From our accessories department there are bootbags, gum shields, kicking tees and more. We have a few varieties of gum shields. Opro, ShockDoctor, MoGo and precision training. The Opro ones we find are the best fitting. They come in a Bronze, Silver and Gold grading. With gold being the best fitting with more divets to bite into. These are priced at £18. In comparision we have the ShockDoctor. These are great mouthguards to, they offer more protection and prevent shock going to the brain ect on impact. The MoGo mouthguards are brilliant for kids. They are flavoured, and keep there flavour, because of the strong flavouring it helps the individual to produce saliva which in turn keeps you sucking onto the gumshield.
Our replica kit is varied slightly. Because we are based in Northampton, we stock the Burrda Northampton Saints Shirts, all Home, Away and European jerseys. We also have both Canterbury England Home and Alternative strips including shirts, shorts and socks. The New Zealand Shirts are also available in the traditional black.

In terms of boots... they are getting lighter and lighter every year and are now very similar to football boots. They still have the robust high cut boots for the tight five. But these days international and club players prefer to use low cut boots. The Adidas adipower Kakari has been very popular this year, as have the Mizuno Timaru boots. Many half backs are using the Adidas Predator or a Nike CTR. These are great for kicking hence why players playing 9 and 10 are wearing them. A lot of the other backs are wearing something colourful and flash, such as the Adidas RS7 or something like the Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly boots. More tradition rugby boots are on offer from Canterbuy, Gilbert and Kooga. With the Kooga Nuevo, Gilbert Sidestep, Gilbert Barbarian and the Canterbury Stampede

Most of the fitness equipment comes from FitnessMad. They have some great home fitness products such as kettlebells, aerobic balls, medicine balls, yoga mats and many more.

Running
Running Footwear products are mostly from Asics, but we also have Adidas, Nike and Skechers. Asics are great for stability running and also those who over pronate. Products such as the Asics Flashfire and Ikaia are great for this. Adidas perhaps don't offer the comfort of Asics but they are a great stylish trainer and the new Adidas Lightster is no exception. Nike is all about the lightweight and bounce, so with trainers like the Nike FreeRun and AirPegasus they set the trend, like Adidas they are very stylish. The modern trend in running is for 'Barefoot Running' skechers have a trainer called 'Go Run Ride' which has a 4mm heel toe drop and enhances a mid strike. They are one of the leading trainers in the current market and an increasingly growing company. Because of the dark nights running outside can be quite daunting. So get amongst the high vis with products from Ron Hill and Asics such as the High Vis running jacket, or hat and gloves.
