Hand-stitched texture, Nichibu Kendo Equipment Honpo, Kendo Men (Head Guard), Air Fit 6mm Cross Stitch, Lightweight
Product Details
โ Our family all practices Kendo, so we have a fair number of used Kendo equipment.
โ This is a 6mm cross-stitch machine-sewn Kote. It has a texture similar to hand-stitching, a beautiful appearance, and a good fit.
โ It is lightweight and resistant to losing its shape.
โ The padding is thick and firm, but it offers excellent mobility and shock absorption.
โ Stitch width: 6mm cross
โ Men (helmet) frame material: Duralumin
โ Chigo (chin reinforcement) pattern: X
โ Chigo decoration: 5-step
โ Edge leather: Artificial leather
โ Condition:
ใป There is some slight fading due to use, but it is not noticeable enough to be a concern. It can still be used as is.
ใป It was not used for a very long period.
ใป The end of the men himo (helmet cord) was frayed, so it has been temporarily tied. Please use it as is or repair it (see photo 15, yellow circle).
(This is a subjective assessment. Please understand that individual differences may exist.)
โ There is a name embroidered on it (please refer to photo 13 - yellow circle).
โ Please refer to the images for the size.
(My head circumference is 55cm and my head covering is 66.5cm, but this equipment is a bit smaller.)
โป Please note that replies to comments may be delayed. We appreciate your understanding.
Daily Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals. For mesh areas, use diluted mild detergent and a soft brush.
Drying: Air dry in a cool, shaded place after cleaning. Avoid direct sunlight or high heat, which can cause fading and glue deterioration.
Storage: Stuff with paper to maintain shape when not in use. Store in a dry, ventilated area to prevent mold. Rotate between multiple pairs to extend lifespan.
Usage Notes: Designed for basketball. Not recommended for hiking, long-distance running, or other specialized sports where different performance features are required.
