SHORT OVERALL REVIEW ON MEN

Heki (Men) offers superb protection and great function. Its strong structure with thick 10 mm stitches menbuton creates elastic bumps that is good at absorbing impact. Its IBB-SD (PRO) mengane allows great balance between mobility and protection. Its slightly convex tsukidare ensures its strong structure and allows the shinai to stop at tsukidare while its large okubyodare protect from tsuki misblows. I-leather urabari is used to further reduce wear and tear from frequent usage, absorb sweat faster and dry faster. Hence, it is great for practice, grading and competition. The overall design shows it is best for practice and as a primary bogu especially for beginners and female kendoka. A great Men for beginners, experienced player and also practical as a primary or secondary set. Its strong structure, thickness and elasticity is very well suited for people who frequently practice with hard-hitters.

However, the strong structure and long menbuton might not fit competitive kendo player that wish for bogu that is soft and short.
