It's composed of four parts: Men (面): Combined face mask & shoulder protection. Kote (小手): Hand and forearm protection, usually with a mitten-like glove. Dou (胴): A breastplate for chest & stomach protection. Tare (垂): A belt of heavy cloth flaps to protect the groin and waist. The center flap often has a place for the name of who the competitor is representing. Practitioners of naginatajutsu also wear suneate (すね当て), a type of shin-guards.
