Planett Adamantine Training Bib.
The all new Planett Adamantine Training Bib that has taken Tackle Apparel to the next level.
Our History.
Having played footy for 24 years and now as a parent I have been officially as well as unofficially as a parent, involved with EFNL (6 years coaching), Interleague (Runner & Defensive Line Assistant), APS Sports, Eastern Ranges, U12 Vic Team as well as the Advanced Certificate Identifying & Developing Young AFL Talent with SportsReady.
I have come to notice a fundamental flaw in training bibs from my 30 plus years of footy. As the owner and product developer of a sportswear brand, we set about redesigning and improving Training Bibs. The current trend for training bibs are in the shape of a balloon that tends to flair out around the body. The current training bib is not consistent in shape or design with playing jumpers. What this current flawed design means is that players are able to lay tackles that are technically incorrect and not suitable for game day. A balloon shaped training bib allows the player to tackle the wearers garment and not the body of the player. As mentioned, this is allowing players to lay what we call “lazy tackles” which are not correct and have the potential to be dangerous. The balloon design also opens the door for fingers to be trapped and injured during the execution of the “lazy tackle”.
As elite performance clubs with elite talent, it is vital that the equipment supplied to the players is not only going to improve their skills but also protect them from unnecessary injuries. It is for this reason that I am informing you about our New Technically Advanced Planett Adamantine Training Bibs... but don’t take my word for it. Here is recent feedback from Anthony Rocca of the Northern Knights.
"Both bibs have been in full use! The quality and performance of the bibs are outstanding and look great also. What I have also noticed is because the bibs are fitted it will help immensely with our tackling (we ripped a lot of bibs last year (previous supplier) because of the looseness which created poor tackling technique, these bibs force us to get close!) " Anthony Rocca. Northern Knights Coach.
Our Bibs.
First our bibs have been redesigned with a sleeker slimmer fitting design.
We have introduced a stronger fabric with mechanical stretch to lessen the chance of ripping.
We have carefully placed all join stitching away from other join stitches on the garments which drastically increases the strength of the bibs.
As this is a premium product, we have incorporated this product in to our full Print range. We sublimate the entire garment which allows for any colours and design to be printed. Make your bib completely unique.
Our all new stretch fabric is not only stronger and more comfortable, it is thicker for increased durability.
