A few years back I ordered a Pinack for Kata from Hirota without realising it was mainly designed to have extra stiffness for competitions. Well after a few years I grew a size and now despite it still looking and sounding amazing, it is restricting my movements a bit and so I decided to get the MH-11, misremembering that this was not the same Dogi I ordered 4 years back. When it arrived and I tried it on, it was night and day just how much more comfortable it felt than my old Pinack and all of the issues I had with being restricted when raising my knees had vanished, all the while the quality feel and cut remained the same. I would highly recommend this to anybody who is looking to get their first high quality Dogi, in fact I am going to order a second one it’s that good.
