Shoyoroll Brasileiro VS Rio Koi [ryureviews]

[ryureviews]

Now that the Shoyoroll Brasileiro is out what are the differences from the Shoyoroll Rio Koi that was released back in August?

There are several, I separated the main one in topics and I’ll try to quickly point them out to you:

On the Brasileiro the jacket is heavier because it is made out of Light weight Pearl Weave instead of the Lite Tech Weave fabric like the Rio.The Brasileiro is bigger than the Rio Koi. The knee area of the Rio is protected by another layer of Gold Weave on the inside. The Brasileiro, on the other hand, has ripstop cotton pants which are more fitted and lighter than the Rio’s.

Nice write up. Woulda been cool if the Rio had the ripstop pants . The lite tech weave is cool but I just find it to stretch way too much in the sleeves when rolling

I also prefer the ripstop pants, but I haven't felt the stretch on the sleeves that you're talking about. Most of the times with the Rio I'm so happy that is SOOOO light that I might not notice it.
