The Navy Polyester Hakama by Mitsuboshi offers outstanding cost-performance, combining modern materials with over 65 years of expertise in budo uniform manufacturing.

Designed for intensive keiko, this synthetic hakama uses next-generation insulating polyester fabric that adapts to different training conditions. In summer, the fabric effectively wicks moisture away from the body, keeping you dry and comfortable. In colder months, it provides thermal insulation, helping retain body heat without sacrificing mobility.

Despite its durability, this hakama for kendo remains lightweight and breathable, allowing for smooth movement and reduced fatigue during long practice sessions. Its structure holds its shape well and requires minimal maintenance, making it an excellent choice for regular training.

This hakama is ideal for kendoka seeking a reliable, easy-care, and affordable alternative to traditional cotton hakama, without compromising performance.
