• Reinforced seams, with extra reinforcement in high stress areas like arm pits and cross stitching in knees

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. 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 an elastic waist (with an internal drawstring) and a white belt of matching size. We also carry other belts you may be interested in (colored belts and BJJ / black sleeve styles).

Note we also carry a "traditional 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 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.

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.

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

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

I'm 6'4" and about 285lb. I ordered a size 6 and it was too small in the jacket. I contacted Piranha Gear and they quickly responded to my request for an exchange. I have never experienced such excellent customer service online until this purchase. I received my size 7, and it fit perfectly. It is comfortable; not scratchy at all. The jacket it very thick and durable, but it breathes and collects sweat very well. The pants are reinforced at the knees and do not wear easily. If I ever need another Gi I'm buying from Piranha Gear.

For 30+ bucks, this is a good gi. I gave it four out of five because gi's this cheap usually are low in quality. Surprisingly, this gi exceeded my expectations. When I first tried it, I thought about how thin the material was, and was a little skeptical about the durability of the gi. However, after a couple of rough rolls on the mat, the gi is still in one piece.

The only gripe I have about the gi is that the collar is very thin, opponents can easily apply chokes. I would recommend this gi to a beginner, but if you've been training in bjj for a while then definitely check out the more expensive brands.

Good:
Low Price
Light

Bad:
Collar and material are very thin

I got this item for my son. The quality of the product is very high for its cost. For sure you can get something of higher quality but you must be willing to pay much more too. This is a great gi for a beginner or a kid that will abuse it and will grow out of it. However, I am sure that my son will outgrow it before seen any tears or damage. It is also an excellent backup gi if you happen to forget the dirty one in the bag. The washing instructions that were included are critical because this is an all cotton unit that will shrink in hot water and in a dryer, there is no way to avoid it. The only thing to be aware is that the sizing charts do not allow for errors and if you plan to wash your gi in hot water and use the dryer you should buy at least a bigger size.
