Well the problem is, we don't have any bogu shops in my country, so my club orders them from another country (might be china, I'm not sure).
So this is basically what we have to work with, I can either take these or not have bogu. Luckily, they were right about kote, it seems. I had my first training in bogu yesterday, and they did feel much better, especially when my arms sweated and made the kote softer. Thanks!
