Gilbert Rugby discount codes and vouchers

What does Gilbert sell?

Gilbert sells its own rugby equipment. Its match balls come in tiers, from Innovo for international and elite rugby through Advantia, Barbarian, Pulsar and Orion, with the Gemini in size 4.5 for players between sizes and for women's rugby. Training balls, sevens and touch balls, skills aids such as the Rebounder, and replica balls for international teams, competitions and clubs sit alongside. It also makes boots with 8-stud, 6-stud and moulded soles, headguards, body armour, mouthguards, tackle bags and shields, kicking tees, clothing and coaching kit, in men's, women's and junior sizes. Gilbert is run by the same Robertsbridge family company as Gray-Nicolls cricket and Grays hockey, and Canterbury of New Zealand has a page here for rugby kit.

Which rugby ball size do I need?

Gilbert's guide gives size 3 for juniors, size 4 for youth players and size 5 for players aged 15 and over, with size 4.5 easing the step up and suiting women's rugby. Training balls are built to last, while match balls are made for grip, balance and flight. Balls arrive deflated, so you need a pump and needle adaptor: moisten the needle and inflate to the pressure printed on the ball. Every Gilbert ball is hand-stitched to World Rugby's specifications, and the brand has supplied the ball for every Rugby World Cup since 1995.

How does Gilbert delivery work?

Orders are sent from its warehouse in Hastings, East Sussex, by tracked UPS or DPD in the UK, with a tracking link in the dispatch email, and product pages count down to the next dispatch. Customised items take longer, as do deliveries to the Highlands and islands. It ships abroad too, including to the EU, Australia, New Zealand, the US and Canada, though bulky tackle equipment can be costly to send overseas, and outside the UK and EU any duties are paid to the carrier. Delivery costs are shown at checkout.

Can I return Gilbert kit?

Yes. UK orders go back through its self-service returns tool with a prepaid UPS label, unused and with their tags, and fault claims use the same tool. Personalised items can only be returned if faulty or if the personalisation is wrong. There are no exchanges, so you return the item for a refund and reorder. Most products carry a guarantee under its fair wear and tear policy, though premium match balls are excluded.

How do I save at Gilbert?

The codes listed here are ones Gilbert supplies through its affiliate programme, and you enter one at its checkout. One voucher works per order. Its loyalty programme turns points into vouchers you claim in its loyalty hub, and Klarna's pay in three and pay later are offered on UK orders. Clubs can design kit and custom balls with its Kit and Ball Designer and order through their own club shop.
