New from BagBase is the Hardbase Sports Backpack (BG576) and Hardbase Sports Holdall (BG578). The hard base in both of these bags gives them structure when heavy boots are placed in the bottom, while eyelets allow ventilation for damp clothing and shoes. They are made from 600D polyester, and have internal and external mesh pockets, dual compartment design, a front pocket that’s been designed for easy decoration and TearAway labels for ease of rebranding. They’re available in four matching colourways. www.bagbase.com 2. From Front Row & Co for the modern sports club is the Contrast Stretch Polo Shirt (FR240). Made from 96% cotton/4% elastane stretch micro-piqué, it features a narrow, flat-knit collar and cuffs, and slim three-button placket. The contrast front panel and sleeve panels with plain back combined with tag-free labelling allow for easy rebranding. It’s available in two colourways – navy/white and marine/white – and in sizes XS-XL. www.frontrowclothing.co.uk 3. Chadwick Textiles has two new stock items this July, the first of which is a premium, waterproof, breathable jacket. This lightweight outer shell adopts the best elements of ergonomic, high end, outdoor garments, such as multiple tape seam body panels, waterproof zips and a performance fit. The second launch is a technical rugby short that builds on the success of the brand’s bestselling pro-rugby short. Key features include a soft handle; a high tenacity, stretch, ripstop fabric; and a new-look technical waistband that promises extra comfort. www.chadwicktextiles.co.uk 4. “Ensure teams are prepared for the challenge with Regatta Activewear’s Tokyo II Contrast Shorts (RA051),” says PenCarrie.
