Bogu 2mm PROFESSIONAL

Do you train intensively, regularly participate in courses and competitions, and expect uncompromising quality from your equipment?

The Professional 2 mm Bogu from Kendo24 is at the top of our machine-sewn armour range. It is designed for kendoka who demand the highest standards of protection, material quality and workmanship.

While many armour sets in this category use standardised materials, this model consistently relies on high-quality Japanese fabrics and leather. The result is armour that clearly stands out from simpler models in terms of both durability and comfort.

Within the Kendo24 bogu line, this armour represents the highest quality level among the machine-sewn models – above the regular 2 mm armour, the various 3 mm armour and the 5 mm entry-level models.

Construction & protection concept

The seam spacing of 2 mm refers to the distance between the parallel quilted seams of the futon areas.

The narrower this distance, the denser the structure of the padding. This increases both the stability of the armour and its protective effect.

The close quilting ensures a compact, dimensionally stable construction that retains its structure even during intensive training and frequent use in competition.

Materials – Japanese quality as a basis

The decisive difference in this armour lies in the choice of materials.

Only high-quality Japanese materials are used, which are known for their durability and comfort.

▪ Japanese #8800 cotton
▪ Japanese deerskin
▪ Traditional indigo dyeing

These materials ensure particularly durable armour with an authentic appearance and excellent resilience during training.

Workmanship & craftsmanship

The armour is assembled entirely by hand.

Reinforcements, leather applications and decorative details are precisely incorporated, resulting in a particularly stable construction.

The combination of tight stitching, high-quality materials and careful workmanship makes this bogu armour suitable for many years of intensive training.

Individual design

The armour offers numerous possibilities for individual design.

The mune can be embroidered in various shapes and colours.
The do comes in a black bamboo look as standard, but can be made in different colours and designs for an additional charge.

The result is armour that not only impresses technically, but also reflects your personal style visually.
