Great Light and Breathable Hakama |

I thought tetron hakama were light when compared to quality cotton hakama but this jersey hakama is like tissue paper in comparison. This feels well-structured enough for Kendo/Naginata practice, and due to this hakama being so light it flows quite freely, allowing you to move with ease. I imagine that due to how light the jersey material is for the hakama it was needed for the pleats to be sewn in on the inside and the outside.
I’m not sure I would use this hakama for Aikido/Jujutsu though, especially since there doesn’t seem to be a version with a soft flexible koshita. E-bogu have this hakama listed when you look for Aikido hakama but rolling around and taking breakfalls, as well as practicing jujutsu in seiza, puts more strain on hakama than kendo would so something this light might not last too long.
The externally sewn pleats aren’t very noticeable and since it is sewn externally the pleats of the hakama keeps its shape very well, so no need to worry about ironing.
