Made specifically for rugby players, the KooGaSKIN is a range of athletic-fit training kit designed to regulate the player's core temperature. Features and benefits Incorporating a unique fabric made using a combination of Spandex and Sorona, a revolutionary new textile developed by DuPont, KooGaSKIN conducts perspiration away from the body and forces it to the outer layer of the garment where it evaporates. As a result, KooGaSKIN provides unrivalled moisture ventilation and heat retention, enabling the player to maintain peak performance in any climate. Sorona is manufactured using the fermentation of corn sugar, replacing the less effective use of traditional petrochemical products, which gives the fabric a special spring-like molecular structure and provides revolutionary levels of stretch and recovery. Combined with the softness of nylon, it provides comfort during performance. The KooGaSKIN range is ultra soft and acts as a protective layer - like a second skin - against abrasion from rugby shirts and the rigours of extreme impact. With intense stretch, recovery and fit capability and built-in high-tech stain resistance, it’s designed to help rugby players perform at their best. It can be worn as a base layer under kit in the winter and on its own in warmer conditions. How are the products marketed? As well as being worn by players from some of the UK's leading rugby clubs, including Newcastle Falcons and the Neath Swansea Ospreys, KooGaSKIN comes packaged in custom-made boxes that are easy to stock and display. Part of the box is cut away, so buyers can feel the material before purchasing. This is an important element as the fabric is ultra soft, making it very different to what's currently available in technical rugby gear.

  • Study on Sports Agents in the European Union
    STUDY ON SPORTS AGENTS IN THE EUROPEAN UNION A study commissioned by the European Commission (Directorate-General for Education and Culture) November 2009 KEA – CDES – EOSE: Study on sports agents in the European Union 2 KEA – CDES – EOSE: Study on sports agents in the European Union EXECUTIVE SUMMARY I. Overview of the study In March 2007, the European Parliament invited the European Commission to assist football bodies and organisations in improving the regulations governing sports agents 1. In July 2007, the European Commission indicated in its White Paper on Sport 2 that it would “ carry out an impact assessment to provide a clear overview of the activities of players’ agents in the EU and an evaluation of whether action at EU level is necessary, which will also analyse the different possible options ”. The European Commission’s terms of reference for this study confirm that the European Commission “ wants to have an analysis of the situation regarding sports agents in all the sports they deal with”. The aim of the study is therefore to examine the situation of sports agents in the European Union and to identify, analyse and describe the questions that their activities give rise to as well as the solutions that have already been provided by public and/or private actors, thus enabling the European Commission to assess – on the basis of the data collected, the problems identified and the analyses carried out – whether intervention is required and, if so, at what level and in what form. The study develops, for the first time, a European outlook on the issue of sports agents.
