Our Story
The Fempro Armour Story
It all started in the Simpson Desert — one of Australia’s toughest landscapes. Endless sand dunes, scorching heat, and hours on the bike revealed something no woman should have to face: protective gear that simply didn’t fit, didn’t protect, and wasn’t made for us. What should have been a challenge of endurance became a reminder that safety in sport was never designed with women in mind.
From that moment, Fempro Armour was born. We set out to create female-specific protective armour that delivers real impact protection without compromise. Our gear is lightweight, breathable, and CE-rated, built to absorb and disperse energy while allowing women to perform at their best — whether in rugby, AFL, NRL, cricket, or motorcycling.
But our work goes beyond the product. We collaborate with clubs, universities, schools, and sporting organisations to reshape safety culture, educate athletes, and ensure women can stay in sport longer, safer, and stronger.
