A modernised jingasa - the conical field hat historically worn by foot soldiers and travellers in feudal Japan - rebuilt from a resin-impregnated composite shell instead of lacquered wood or paper. Where the original was mainly rain and sun cover with light impact protection, the Jinsing Hat's composite build can shrug off a glancing strike or be used defensively as an improvised shield against a blade.
Its low profile and wide brim also make it useful for breaking up a wearer's silhouette and shadowing the face from ground-level cameras - a small, deliberately old-fashioned piece of kit that still earns its place in a modern vigilante's loadout.
