Product Description

The sizing on this uniform may not be what you're expecting. PLEASE be sure to check our size charts to make sure you're going to get a good fit as we want to save you the trouble of doing an exchange. Though we DO have the best exchange policy in the industry!

This is a single weave, "bleached white" gi for Judo, Jiu-Jitsu and Aikido. This gi has a traditional "rice-grain" weave for the top and reinforced (quilted) knees for durability. It was specifically designed to withstand grappling during training and competition (it's NOT a "karate gi"). Seams are reinforced - especially in the shoulders, lapel and sleeves - to ensure quality and durability.

It is made of 100% cotton and includes pants with a "traditional drawstring" waist. We include a white belt of matching size and also carry other belts you may be interested in (colored belts and BJJ / black sleeve styles).

Note we also carry an "elastic drawstring" waist as a separate item in our catalog. These are the same uniforms but with a different waist style. If we're out of one style for your size, you might check the other.

While we sell LOTS of these uniforms to practitioners of Jiu-Jitsu, we also carry a very similar uniform to this that is cut specifically for Jiu-Jitsu practice. That uniform has a thicker collar, tighter sleeves and a few other differences that might be preferred. If you practice Judo or Aikido, the other uniform would probably not work as well. If you're not sure, just ask us and we'd be happy to help in your decision.

While this is an excellent gi for the money, it is intended for beginning or intermediate students. We offer much heavier gi's for more advanced students. These are "Shock Wave" brand uniforms.

These uniforms DO RUN SMALL compared to "standard sizes". PLEASE be sure to check our size charts before you order.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tough Uniform, June 24, 2009

I've owned this uniform for about a month now and have grappled with it on about two dozen times. We grapple full on, live and this thing has taken a beating. Like other reviewers, I wish I had bought a little bigger size because I washed and dried my Gi top (that's a no no) and it shrank a little. It still fits, but it's very tight. I'll probably end up buying a whole new uniform soon.

Overall, this is a very tough uniform that I see lasting for years.

This review is from: Judo / Jiu-Jitsu / Aikido Shock Wave Uniform (Single Weave Drawstring Waist) (Misc.)

i'm a long time martial arts and amazon shopper, and i have to say, Piranha gear is hands down the best company i've dealth with in both arenas.

This is a great GREAT value. It's the approximate quality of a koral traing gi without the koral patches on it. And the shipping is like, comedically fast. I ordered on a friday night, and my gi and shorts were at my door on Monday morning. No extra cost for crazzy fast shipping, that was just the normal option. I know, I sound like a paid spokesperson. I'm not. I'm just really impressed by the level of customer seervice these guys have. Every order comes with a handwritten note on the receipt with a thank you note from Bill. I'm honestly not sure what the note says, because Bill's handwriting is 100% illegeble, but judging from how cool and accomidating he's been in the numerous emails I've got from him, I'm sure it's something lovely like "thanks, enjoy your products". Or possibly it's Korean. I'm not sure.

But truly, the quality of this gi (and the others i have, the vale tudo pants, everything else) is excellent quality. This single weave breathes fantastic, as I train in Tucson, az where it's about 250 degress in the training room with the air on. It's a rugged gi as well, easily standing up to whatever I can throw at it (I'm 250 pounds of awesome) and actually releases stains quite well (i bleed like an infant in a cactus patch).

I reccomend the elastic waist vs the drawstring one, as the elastic has a drawstring, too, and are a bit more comfortable. The pants are light weight, but have reinforced knee patches on the wear spots. The kimono is quite tough as noted before, and the lapels and sleeves resist stretching quite well despite hours of use.

as far as sizing, I'm one of those oddballs that prefers a little bit larger of a gi, so my A5 fits perfectly after washing with no dry. I can see, however, that if you like a tighter gi a run through the dryer should cinch it right up. I've read from other reviews these run a bit small: from what i can tell and talking to other with PG in my class the sizing chart they provide is dead on.

Also, the logo is pretty sweet, which i've slapped on my car and gi shoulders. If you're looking for a brand to get behind that's not played out like tapout or WW, and not co-opted by d-bags (affliction) this isw a great company that I have a strong belief will become big time in the near future.

Only complaint: I want a full back Piranha patch, Bill.

Anyhow, buy their stuff. you'll like it. I promise. And you know I wouldn't lie to you.
