How to find the right Kendo Suit Tops AI guide
Written by an AI model from its trained knowledge.
What the AI looks for in Kendo Suit Tops
- Single vs double layer
- Double-layer jackets suit bogu training. Single-layer jackets suit hot weather or beginners before armour. Layering affects heat, durability and comfort under the do and tare.
- Fabric
- Indigo cotton is traditional but bleeds. Polyester or tetron is colorfast and dries quickly. Dye transfer and drying time affect every training week.
- Sleeve length
- Sleeves should end around the elbow to mid-forearm so they don't bunch inside the kote. Overlong sleeves interfere with the gloves.
Brands that matter
- Tozando: Kendogi in several weaves and fabrics.
What to avoid
- Thin judo or karate jackets used as kendogi
- Bright indigo cotton jackets for anyone who can't wash them separately
