If like me it's been a while since you bought or used a traditional Japanese martial arts uniform, you are in for a treat! Gone are the days of cardboard-stiff gi, with edges that chafe your neck and forearms and take FOREVER to break in. This gi is SUPER comfortable, well made, fits beautifully, and looks great.
One note to those who complain about the sizing:
1) Sizing the gi correctly really is your responsibility, and you need to make sure you have the correct size when ordering. Also, if you are new to Japanese martial arts, be aware that gi pants are SUPPOSED to be short (those of you from a TKD background will be used to a longer pant). Believe me, when you're in a deep lunge or as Uke being chucked on your face or dragged across the mats, you will be thankful that your pants aren't tripping you up - a few inches above the ankle is CORRECT.

el Gi me gusto bastante son de muy buena calidad, pero tuve un grave problema, pedi uno para un amigo y me guié por la estatura sugerida, el mide 188cm segun ustedes su talla seria la 5 y oh sorpresa le queda gigantesto, no grande gigantesco le llega casi a la rodilla la chaqueta, de hombros es apenas, pero el largo es absurdo!! y lo peor esos nos los compro un amigo de la florida y me los envio asi q reenviarlos desde aca, colombia a la florida y de ahi a ustedes, me sale por el doble de precio del Gi, asi q ni modo de cambiarlo. y ahora q hacemos con un Gi q es para alguien q mida minimo unos 200cm aca no tengo como venderlo, y la confeccion es tan buena que ninguma modista se atreve a rehacerlo, ah!! como les parece mi problema. lo unico que veo por hacer es pedir uno que si le quede bueno a mi amigo solo que no estoy seguro de cual talla pedir si 3 o 4, y perder el dinero del que ya compramos y no se guardarlo de recuerdo. !! alguien que me de una luz, gracias

Excellent Quality + Value |

I was a tiny bit disappointed the hi-dri-tex was only in mesh form, and not woven into the fabric or at least in fabric form (like a polyester tech shirt).. The sizing proportions don't match my 152 lb 6 foot frame: the sleeves are short by 2" but have more room than my Fuji gi, the pants are 3 to 4" above my ankle.. This is with a size 3; but with the back-ordered size 4, I know the length will be fixed, at the expense of a looser sleeve.. I am very impressed with the quality of the cotton weave.. After washing w/o fabric softener, the cotton is still soft, despite being judo/aikido single weave thickness.. The weave on the torso is smooth and supple.. The draw strings on the pants draw the waist without any snags.. The double weaving on the kness goes from knee to ankle.. The hi-dri-tex mesh starts from back, through torso, and ends on the wrist.. The sale price is extremely great value.. If the sale price is maintained, I would recommend this gi to everyone..

The gi is very comfortable and good at absorbing moisture. It's thick but not heavy. I'll get another one in the future for sure.
