Study about Kendo gear protection

We encourage you to check out this study about Kendo gear, in particular Men and Men-pads protection.

There might be limitations on the study, but it already shows interesting findings that work as a preliminary ground to base your knowledge about Men protectiveness. We can corroborate that this information is actually in concordance with what we known as a professional Budogu (things such as "wider stitching providing more protection than narrower ones").

Tsubasa Budogu always takes "protectiveness" seriously when designing new gear, even the ones meant for competition!
