If you can't dodge the punch, Hayashi will protect you.

“Best way to avoid punch? No be there.” Mr. Miyagi from Karate Kid II is right. But when you're standing on the tatami in the dojo, you need protection you can fully trust. The Hayashi “Lite” protective vest was specially developed for newcomers.

With it, you can face light and semi-contact training and competition without fear. The vest is lightweight, comfortable, and does not restrict your freedom of movement in any way – ideal conditions for full concentration on technique and timing.

Your invisible protector: the technology behind the “Lite.”

The sophisticated design of the “Lite” vest makes it almost invisible in training and competition. Only the subtle branding and the official WKF approved label remain visible. The shoulder straps can be individually adjusted with hook & loop fasteners, as can the width at the back. The padding made of dimensionally stable PE foam offers excellent shock absorption despite its low thickness. This means you are protected without compromising on comfort or freedom of movement.

Safety right from the start – with Hayashi.

For a safe start in karate, Hayashi offers the “Lite” protective vest in a wide range of sizes – suitable for kids, teens, and adults. The generous cutouts at the shoulders, armpits, and neck ensure maximum freedom of movement. Thanks to the quilted padding, the “Lite” sports vest remains flexible and adapts perfectly to your movements.
