Proact, customisable sportswear

Proact, a brand born from rugby

Proact was launched in 2009 by Laurent Marti, already the founder of a French custom textile brand, to meet the needs of team sports. Its roots are in rugby: complete match kits, bench jackets, training accessories, and team bags. The range then expanded to multi-sport, with outfits suitable for football, handball, or basketball, and warm-up pieces valid for all disciplines. Everything is delivered blank, without any club logo, to be printed later in the team's colours. At the start of the season, these pieces form the basis of the supplies given to new members.

Other brands for customization

Custom textiles are available by brand:

• Sol's, t-shirts, sweatshirts and polos.
• Kariban, polos, sweatshirts and blank t-shirts.
• Result, jackets and outerwear.
• K-up, caps and beanies.
• Kimood, bags and accessories.
• Yoko, vests and high-visibility clothing.

All brands are gathered on the custom textile and accessories page.

Breathable polyester and sizes for all categories

The Proact jerseys and shorts are primarily made from technical polyester: the fiber does not retain water, wicks sweat away, and dries within hours after washing, which is beneficial when the outfit is used twice a week. The tracksuits and jackets, being thicker, cover warm-ups and travel, while the windbreakers protect against training in drizzles. Most models are available in adult and child sizes: a club can thus dress the rugby school, juniors, and seniors in the same reference and colours, for a consistent image on the pitch and on the go.

Printing, screen printing or embroidery: marking a team outfit

Decorations are chosen according to location and quantity. Thermo-adhesive flocking, a film cut and then heat-pressed, is suitable for individual names and numbers, on the back of the jersey and on the leg of the shorts. Screen printing, which deposits ink through a screen, becomes interesting for a large series of the same logo, such as club supplies. Embroidery provides a high-end finish on the jackets and polos for management. On polyester, the application temperature must remain moderate to avoid shining or marking the fiber: a preliminary test on a sample piece avoids nasty surprises.

Good deals

Great bargains can also be found in good deals, promotions, clearance sales, sales, Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and items shipped within 24h are prepared and dispatched within 24 hours. The highlights of the year follow a stable order: Black Friday in late autumn, the end-of-year festivities, winter sales, the French Days in spring, then summer sales and back-to-school.

Frequently asked questions

How do Proact clothes fit?

The cuts are sporty without being tight: most players take their usual size. Check the brand's size guide, which is based on chest measurement for tops, and have a sample model tried on before a bulk order.

What Proact textiles to equip a rugby school?

A matching jersey and shorts for matches, a tracksuit for travel, and a windbreaker for winter sessions make a complete supply. Child sizes allow dressing the younger ones in the same colours as the seniors.

Why choose blank textiles instead of pre-printed outfits?

Blank textiles allow the club to freely add its logo, partners, and player numbers. It also enables continuing supplies year after year in the same colours, without waiting for custom production.

How to wash a printed jersey without damaging the decoration?

Turn it inside out, wash it at no more than thirty degrees, without fabric softener or bleach, and let it air dry. Never iron directly on the print: protect it with a cloth or iron the jersey inside out.

How many jerseys should be planned to equip a team?

Plan one jersey per registered player, plus two or three spare outfits in the most common sizes. They will serve for members joining during the year or to replace a torn jersey without breaking the series of numbers.
