Kyoto-Pro Titan Men Specifications

 

Extra-Protective Men-Buton – the Men pad is constructed from multiple protective layers, with a dual layer of selected natural felts at its core. Those layers of differential density have been carefully selected and tested to best balance weight, density and impact management. Additional layers of padding material are integrated across the primary target area, increasing protection and overall thickness in this “high traffic” zone.

 

Shock Absorbent Pitch Stitch – 3mm longitudinal bands of stitching are applied with Pitch-Zashi 4mm long stitches through the Futon, reducing compression of the Men padding and increasing the absorption of shock at the point of impact. Reducing the distance between lines of stitching increases the durability of the Futon and offers additional impact resistance. 3mm spacing matches the stitch width of the finest 1.0bu Tezashi armour Futon, and the malleability and performance of the Titan Men-Buton is observably similar to this gold standard.

 

Diagonal Men-Dare Stitch – the Naname-Zashi (diagonal stitch) element applied on the Men-Dare allows the Men to sit correctly from the outset of use, preventing interference with head posture and overcoming traditional “breaking in” periods.

 

IBB Duralumin Men-Gane – designed to increase the strength of the Men-Gane, and to improve the balance point of the Men, IBB Men-Gane have two stainless steel bars in the upper portion of the structure. Whilst stronger and as a result more resistant to damage, more importantly, this Men-Gane style brings the balance point of the Men back towards the central column of the body, putting less stress on the neck of the Kenshi and minimising impact on the posture.

 

Noukon Naname-Zashi Ago Shokko – Dark blue dots, arranged in Naname-Zashi diagonal grid, form the pattern covering the main area of the Tsuki-Dare (also known as Ago), perfectly linking with the paired Do-Mune Shokko.

 

Shurirido Microfibre Uchiwa – the ultimate in both comfort and sweat management, the internal band which surrounds and contacts the face offers the best solution for quality and comfort of fit.

Protective and comfortable :)
I got this Men by the end of 2020, when we were just starting to get back to practice after Covid. This was the 2nd Men I've bought in my life, as my old 4mm Men was not doing its job properly anymore (after 6-7 years of use).

Different from my 1st Men, I was surprised that the Titan was comfortable to wear from day one. I did not need to break into it too much. Even with the extra-protective padding, it is lighter than my old Men. The material feels high quality to the touch and the Nanamezashi stitching on the Mendare helps to keep the shape. The thickness on the top is just right to not feel the more motivated strikes from my Kouhai. It's been a little over 2 years of use without a second Men to rotate, around 4 practices per week (plus some taikai, seminars and extra events along the way), and it still looks and feels good. I'm really satisfied with this Men. Still comfortable and protective. The only thing I would change on it is the length of the Mendare, as I was used to a bit shorter style.

Some people say that narrow stitching makes Bogu more durable, but at the same time it would be stiff and strikes would hurt more. That is not the case with this Men. Comparing the experience with my 4mm Men, the Titan felt more comfortable and protective from the beginning. I have another one now (Nexus) to rotate and let them both dry properly, so I expect it to have a long life until it becomes another dummy head in the future.
