This is an excellent Gi! As far has heavy cotton uniforms go, this uniform fits nicely, the cotton has a wonderful feel and it's well built. The best part is it isn't stiff like cardboard nor does it feel like cardboard on the skin like many other heavy cotton uniforms. Stick with the wash and care pamplet to care for this uniform and I believe this uniform will hold up for years to come.

This is really a fantastic quality gi - better than anything I've found in this price range. They really mean it with the stitching and weight; I feel like this gi will last me for a long, long time. Piranha Gear even shipped it with a helpful guide on how best to care/clean the gi so that it'll last longer. And the shipment itself was fast and hassle-free. Just a top-notch gi for a great price. I'm planning on picking up another.

Great looking, fits well, sizing chart was accurate, durable (I'd like to think I am tough on my Gi), and great price.

I've tried them all and hands down this one wins the game. This is the Gi other companies are trying to beat.

Buy with confidence.

This is the best gi I have owned. I've gone through about six of them. The cotton is very thick but soft and not too stiff. The drawstring, running through a nylon sleeve, offers a good closure that does not bind and fail to tighten as others I've worn have done. A Tokaido gi of this quality will cost you close to $200. This is about half that. You really can't go wrong with a Piranha Gear uniform.

This is a really tough gi. The canvas is quite sturdy and as advertised the hems are in fact stitched 8 times. I'm rather thin so the waist was huge for me (though it cinched up well), but if you are a bit more filled out you don't need to worry about whether this will fit you. The ties for the pants are top are pretty thick which makes it a bit difficult to tie. I wish mine had full sleeves, just because that's what I prefer, but the full length version didn't come in my size. My complaint is that the tie for the gi top is right at my obi level so my obi has to be high, low or pushing the knot into my side.

I like the feel of it vurses that of other heavyweight gi's.
It is quite nice so far but, I have only had it for a month so far.

Karate Gi (Extra Heavyweight), 4/5 sleeves - Black

This is a great Gi. The cut is great for fighting/sparring - it allows better range of movement. For the price I don't think you can find a better gi. I highly recommend it!

I purchased the instructor's gi as a gift for my son, who wrote the following review at my request.

The material is exceptionally durable. Its thickness makes it hard for an opponent to get a firm grip and when grip is achieved the uniform holds up very well. I have been thrown many times and will be thrown many times more but I have confidence that the uniform will remain unscathed. I've owned gi's in the past that have ripped along the seams and elsewhere under far less extreme conditions, like throwing a punch from kneeling. The seams on this gi are stitched many times and likely will hold up to years of intense practice. My favorite feature (other than how good it looks) is the draw string quality. The material is very thick and strong - way better than any other gi I've owned. Its nice to be able to draw it tightly and not having to worry about it snapping. This gi is also wonderful for winter training as it is very, very warm. Thank you very much for selling such a great product. I will definitely consider your products for my future martial arts needs.
