Mitsuboshi Mine Premium Fit Kote (Wrist Guards) I am reluctantly selling these after only using them two or three times and then storing them in my equipment rack. They use Ultrasuede for the palm, making them tear-resistant and soft, allowing for a good grip on the shinai (bamboo sword). They are quite expensive if bought at the regular price, so I think this is a good deal. Kendo Kote (Wrist Guards)
