Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Needed to add a few more gis to my collection so I didn't have to constantly worry about washing. I decided to give this a shot as it is half the price of most quality gis. Upon opening the package, the first thing you'll notice is the lightness. It definitely lives up to its lightweight claim. Once you unfold it, the jacket is surprisingly good quality for the price and extremely soft. Most gis take quite a few sessions and washes to break in and feel so comfortable, but this one is great right out the package. As others have mentioned, the pants are very thin. You can see your skin color through them and your underwear/compression/jock. Keep that in mind. For me, not a big deal, don't really care. I washed it once and the jacket appeared unchanged but the pant inseam shrank about .5-1" which made them perfect. I like my gi pants to sit above my ankle. I rolled this morning in it and it held up well. It wasn't scratchy or rough on the skin. If I had to give a clear negative, it is that the collar is very soft and easy to grip and hold whereas nicer gis with rubberized collars wear your opponent's grip strength out quickly. Lastly, I weigh 220 at 5'11. A3 fits very well. -------------------------------------------------- EDIT #1: I've rolled about a dozen times now in this gi. It has held up well. A few loose threads here and there but nothing destructive to the material or fatal to the structure. I'll update again should something change. So far, very satisfied and would purchase more if more color options were available.
