Made in NZ: QP Sport

It's common place to see seen men on a football pitch line up for a penalty kick to defend the goal with their hands strategically placed to defend sensitive parts of their bodies. But for many, particularly women, the chest is a very sensitive part of the body in need of extra protection. To help with this back in 1978, nuns from a New Plymouth girls school sought to safeguard their students chests during soccer games. That's how QP Sports was born, creating breast and chest protection for people playing sport - and they're made right here in Aotearoa. Richard Shearer is the business owner and general manager of QP Sport, he speaks to Jesse.
