Amazing! I've had this dogi for 5 years now and it remains the best heavyweight Kata dogi I've owned. It feels very light and comfortable for a heavyweight and allows for great snapping. Special thanks to Hamid and Kuroobiya for the great service, it is highly appreciated!
I was a bit concerned about buying online, never having seen this gi in person before but decided to take a chance. I was very pleased with everything about this gi. The fit was exactly as specified. The fabric is quite amazing (this is the first time in 20+ years of training that I have tried wearing a non 100% cotton gi). It washes and dries very quickly and hardly wrinkles (almost looks like its ironed vs. a cotton gi). It is very comfortable for all round use and would look great in competition (though I don't do that much these days). Will definitely consider purchasing same type of gi in the future. Furthermore, shipping was very efficient to Canada. I would suggest that if you machine wash that you use a detergent with an odor masking scent (since polyester will always be a bit more smelly than cotton) and machine dry on "permanent press" (lower temperature) to a "damp dry" level then hang up for complete drying.
Wow! As someone that owns quite a few Shureido dogi I have to say this is as good in terms of quality, fit and material. Thanks to Hamid also for making sure that the customisation was completely correct for me for this dogi. Looking forward to training in this!
