"KARNA" is the name of a god who was born into this world wearing golden armor.
It is said that the wearer was invulnerable while wearing this armor.
The performance gear brand that was born under this name is "KARNA."
From the various materials currently available, we use an abundance of the best high-performance, high-quality, and easy-to-handle materials and complete our products using advanced sewing techniques.
"KARNA" continues to create products with the strong desire to create something that the developers can recommend with 100% confidence to athletes who are serious about winter sports.
For protective gear, we collaborate with a medical equipment manufacturer.
Based on ergonomics, it is designed to enable efficient, natural and efficient movement while also being extremely safe.
One item that is particularly noteworthy is the high-performance "XRD® Certified Protective Gear," which uses the world's number one shock-absorbing material "XRD®" all over the body.
What is XRD?
Absorbs 90% of impact. When struck, the polymeric material that makes up XRD creates its own protective shield to absorb the impact.
It can withstand continuous impacts and provides maximum effectiveness even with a small capacity.
The XRD has numerous holes, making the pad itself breathable.
The padding is designed to be slim, providing a comfortable fit.
As you can see from the photo, the model using XRD has many XRD pads that are subdivided to fit the body. The pads themselves are not bulky and can be described as slim. This makes it extremely easy to move around.
Furthermore, since the board can absorb shock sufficiently without thickening the padding, a lightweight design is possible. Lightweightness and ease of movement are of utmost importance in snowboarding.
It maintains a smart silhouette, so it won't ruin your look no matter what type of clothing you wear.
"KARNA" is protective gear that was originally developed for winter sports, but its performance is highly regarded not only on snow but also on hard concrete, providing sufficient shock absorption, and it is also used in a variety of action sports.
The higher your snowboarding level and the harder you snowboard, the greater the risk of falling. That's why protective gear is so important.
Why not enjoy riding with the world's best shock absorption and increased safety?
Other materials used in KARNA
We carefully select and use high-performance materials with the key theme being "how to enjoy snowboarding comfortably."
