QP Sport developed BodyGuard-WOMEN after noticing that the mandatory unisex Body Protector used in Karate was not an ideal fit for women and girls. Because the Women’s Chest Guard is also mandatory for Karate competition, there was a double up of protection which hindered movement and created bulk. So, QP Sport worked with WKF to develop the best body protection system for women in Karate.

In testing during WKF Guadalajara, Spain A Series 2018, over 90% of women who trailed the samples preferred the new women specific design.

Specially designed pockets hold a custom correctly shaped protector over your breasts. CoolGuard uses ergonomically shaped flexible plastic protection inserts, made from soft but strong Polyethylene and just 2 mm thick.

The breast protection insert extends around under arm for added protection and to better locate the insert in position. Inserts are easily removed or fitted while the CoolGuard Bra is being worn. The inserts don't touch the wearer’s body. Six sizes of insert are available.

Designed specifically for use in WKF Kumite Karate competition where MaxiGuard chest protection is also compulsory equipment.

Note, QP Sport cannot sell this item with "WKF Approved" branding direct to customers. This is the same product, just without the WKF Approved logo, so it can be used in all applications except for WKF sanctioned competitions.
