What does double-sided mean and how do I switch sides?

The T2 is reversible: each guard has two differently coloured outer faces, so you flip the protector and fasten it the other way around to change sides. This listing comes in two colourways — Red/Blue, which covers the standard competition distinction between the red and the blue competitor, and Black/White as an alternative for training and club use. Whichever colourway you choose, both faces use the same foam-laminate construction — the difference is on the outer surface only.

What is the EVA-LUTION foam and Supremo-Shock Foam™ combination?

The chest area of the T2 uses 18mm of compressed EVA-LUTION foam (providing the structural body and shape retention) laminated with 8mm of Supremo-Shock Foam™ (a softer, higher-energy-absorption layer). The two-layer combination is designed for karate and TKD strikes and kicks: the EVA layer handles repeated low-to-medium force impacts without compressing permanently, while the Supremo layer absorbs the high-energy spike from a fast, direct kick. Together they provide more consistent protection than either material alone over a long sparring session.

What age is the Small/Medium size suitable for?

Small/Medium is recommended for athletes up to approximately 14 years of age. For younger children or those with a smaller frame, Small/Medium will provide appropriate coverage. For teenagers approaching adult dimensions, measure the chest circumference and match to the size chart. Large and above are adult sizes. If a youth athlete is between sizes, err on the side of the larger size for better rib and sternum coverage.

Is this chest guard suitable for competition use?

The T2 is designed for semi-contact karate, Taekwondo and general martial arts training and sparring. For sanctioned competition, check with your governing body or association (for example your national karate or Taekwondo federation) for approved equipment lists, as specific brands and specifications may be required at certain levels. Many governing bodies maintain an approved list — confirm the T2 is on it before competing. For club training and non-sanctioned sparring, the T2 is appropriate for all skill levels.
