Winter protector
Today, we would like to introduce brand of innovational protectors and protective clothes for all kinds of sports.
This maker is called YOROI.
A protector to evolve the body & mind.
Starting with the season of deep snow, Japan's natural environment is both rich and severe.
From the ancient times, the Japanese has developed very specific sense of beauty from taking in the immense energy from their natural surrounding, which influenced their cuisine, arts, religion and culture in general.
Yoroi (鎧・甲) which means "armor" in Japanese, also shares the same history of innovation, that is why it is so uniquely rich in materials (to name just some of them, leather, lacquer, iron, copper and straps were often used).
The yoroi's primary objective was to protect wearer during combat, but it was also essential of the armor to be mobile enough for attack. Yoroi also served as motivator for the wearer in the battle.
In a way, yoroi can be called an ultimate active guard to protect both body and spirit of the wearer.
Traditional yoroi
Revival of the tradition - fit for the modern age!
Traditional armor is what inspired the YUKI-ITA “yoroi” series for the winter slopes.
This came about by combining the traditional Japanese element of armory with cutting edge technology and today's adrenaline activities.
It absorbs the shock entirely in cloth. Materials are carefully selected considering various body parts, based on their shock absorption priority.
In addition, the clothing has temperature control features, is breathable and comfortable to wear.
The YOROI is constantly in development to decrease the risk of injury and to enhance the active life to its wearers, embodying the Japanese spirit of harmony.
Superior durability and ultra lightweight!
In accordance with “Whole inner layer acting as a protector” concept, a special honeycomb mesh is used for the entire body. Basically, the fabric itself abosrpbs the shock.
Another fantastic benefit is that it also adjusts to body temperature incredibly well.
All together, Yoroi protectors are super-efficient protectors, oriented to keep both performance and stamina.
(Patent number - 3149896).

ALL SPORTS PROTECTOR
Improved power performance with an Ultra-lightweight protector, which has excellent ventilation, impact cushioning and flexibility. Not just for winter, but for hot summers too!
Features are added in order of the parts close to the body, such as a fast drying, sweat absorbing soft inner material, a special honeycomb mesh with a shock absorption function, a pressure relieving material pad, a PE board and a mold pad.
・Stepwise block absorption from points to surface
1. At first, points are expanded in the surface by mold.
2. The PE board receives the shock.
3. Pressure relieving material changes the shape slowly, according to the body and the amount of shock, and then it does its job to reduce the shock.
4. Further to this, the honeycomb mesh receives the shock and spreads it out.
・Special Honeycomb Mesh
The special honeycomb mesh that we use is a modern day version of the ultra lightweight mail, often called chain mail.
In YUKI-ITA YOROI chain mail is reproduced with a special honeycomb mesh and it protects people by dispersing the shock from the point of impact to the surface.
・Low Rebound
This material was developed based on space development technology.
It has an open cell structure (hollow cell): This depends on the acceleration of the body pressure, just like breathing air goes in and out.
It has excellent ventilation and you can use it throughout the year.
・Wetsuit Material
This material has excellent strength and stretch, which is also the material used for wetsuits.
A draping process, rounding and 3D processing is also possible, so it fits the body perfectly.
・Airly Pad
The complete body pad has been designed to make it possible to increase the ventilation holes as well as to help the heat escape efficiently.
The power series aims at providing thermal comfort in not just an EVA pad, but also through a PE board by opening the fine ventilation holes similar to that of a mold pad.
Good ventilation helps impact energy to escape and improves the impact relieving properties.
・EVA Material
Unfortunately, it is not the material from the famous anime movie, but it is still extremely soft and flexible material with excellent shock absorption qualities.
It is lightweight and it doesn't deteriorate with wind, rain and even if it's exposed to ultra-violet rays: therefore it's a highly durable material.
Considering the cost performance aspect, it is quite a challenge to have completely environmentally friendly material.
However, most of YOROI materials generate very little dioxin and other toxic gases.
YOROI uses S.Cafe!
S. Cafe is a completely environmentally friendly and high functional fiber, made from recycling coffee remains after dripping.
In the process of coffee roasting even without any special after-processes, the material naturally acquires functions like sweat absorbation, quick drying, deodorization and UV-cut.
It is used in some of the YOROI series, such as OH-YOROI series.
