The Bay of Plenty Rugby Union has teamed up with Melbourne based company SA1NT as an official partner for the 2023 season. 

SA1NT is an innovative clothing company that utilises cutting edge fabrics to better equip people for protection, performance, and recovery. 

The company burst onto the scene back in 2014, bringing to market the world’s first ever unbreakable single layer motorcycle denims.   

Eight years later, SA1NT now boast a product range spanning from heavy duty workwear to their new sports compression-wear range branded “SA1NT Layers”, which is set to go to market in 2023. 

Founder Aidan Clarke is a Kiwi-born entrepreneur who shares a love for the game of rugby along with his business partner Clyde Davenport. Their vision is for SA1NT compression-wear to be the product of choice for aspiring sports athletes from all walks of life in New Zealand and Australia.  

“Given the popularity and importance of rugby in New Zealand, it was only logical that one of the first sponsorships for SA1NT Layers was the Bay of Plenty Rugby Union,” says Clarke. 

“SA1NT are delighted to have now partnered with the Union and hope that our partnership can improve the high-performance experience for Bay of Plenty rugby athletes by providing them with state-of-the-art compression-wear to aid recovery and performance.” 

Under the partnership, the Bay of Plenty Rugby Union will have the ability to provide 60% off SA1NT Layers for Development players and 30% off for the Bay of Plenty rugby community.  

“We are certain that as elite rugby players start to utilise and share the advanced SA1NT Layers performance range, the brand will gain momentum across the Bay and throughout NZ Rugby,” says Clarke. 

“We are excited for what 2023 will bring and are looking forward to developing a strong relationship with Bay of Plenty Rugby.”  

BOPRU Head of Commerical Partnerships Nick Staples says, “we are fortunate to partner up with the SA1NT team who have a remarkable product for our Steamers and Volcanix. Their technology will assist our athletes in performance and recovery, and we look forward to working with Aidan and his team to as we both look to have a successful 2023.”
