KarateMart Chest Guard

The chest guard is designed to be flipped inside out, allowing you to quickly switch between red and blue sides. This is essential for tournament settings where you may need to change your color designation between matches without carrying two separate pieces of gear.

Yes, it features thick, high-density foam padding specifically engineered to absorb impact. It provides comprehensive coverage across your chest, ribs, stomach, and shoulders, making it suitable for both intense training sessions and official competition.

The guard uses adjustable nylon straps that allow you to customize the fit to your body type. Properly tightening these straps ensures the gear stays in place and doesn't shift during rapid strikes or defensive maneuvers.

No, this product is not machine washable. To maintain the vinyl exterior and foam integrity, we recommend wiping it down with a damp cloth and mild disinfectant after each use, then letting it air dry in a well-ventilated area.

While it is optimized for Karate and Taekwondo, the design is versatile enough for other martial arts that require chest and rib protection. However, it is specifically built to meet the standards of competitive sparring in those two disciplines.
