Just enough, ;D

Its kind of small, though if you know how to pack you bogu and keep it tidy, no problem at all!

Nice, perfect size for normal size bogu for and adult.

Highly recommended quality product

E. Ushio, Lihue Kendo Club · Mar 14, 2010

Based on a positive assessment of Bogushop by a Canada-based sensei, I visited their website, perused the product line and decided to purchase and try the 1.2 bu kote model as a backup to my several sets of Japanese-made hand stitched kote.

One thing I appreciate is that Bogushop, unlike some other vendors, is fully-open about their products, down to the country of origin or each component. In the case of this model, 100% Japanese components combined with final assembly at the Bogushop factory result in a product that is aesthetically indistinguishable from Japanese-made kote. Functionally, whereas these are assembled and fitted on an order by order basis (like a custom-made set), I found the fit and feel to be superb, requiring practically no break-in.

At the current price, I haven’t found a better value anywhere.
