SHORT OVERALL REVIEW

The two layer aisome cotton keiko neither too thin like some keikogi where you can see the color and skin texture. Thick enough to offer protection while absorbing sweat effectively. Aisome suppresses the smell of sweat with its anti-bacterial effect. The inner micro slit mesh is design with ensure better air flow and ventilation, dries quickly and cool. Suitable for kendo practitioner in hot area and weather.

 In Japan, cotton keikogi and hakama is expected to be use during even such as competition, practicing outside (degeiko) and grading. It is said, wearing a nice cotton keikogi and hakama is a sign of respect towards the opponent, and a sign of good grooming. Hence, this keikogi would be suitable not only for daily practice, but even during grading, competition, and Degeiko.
