Yeah its generally pretty dry down here. The trade-off is that shinais last half as long as in Japan.

Re your problem, it does seem that some people sweat a lot more than others (viz- Pat Rafter in the Aus Open tennis a couple of years back - sweated so much he got severe cramps and had to withdraw). People who sweat a lot seem to go through bogu quicker than those who don't. Ain't nothing you can do once the leather starts to rot other than patch-up jobs. Seriously I think you should look into one of those all-around face inserts, maybe minimise the amount of sweat that gets into your men.

Go-dan wife? Kowai! 1 hour kakrigeiko is prob gonna finish off one of your men for good!
