Gameness XT - A1 Review



Quote:



First Impressions

When first pulling this gi out of the package I was pretty impressed. Tried the jacket on and it was a little long in the sleeves but knew it would shrink with the first wash given prior experiences with Gameness gi’s. When I pulled the pants out though I immediately noticed two major flaws.

The first thing I noticed about the pants were how heavy they were. Way heavier than most pants I’m used to.

The second thing was how ridiculously thick and stiff they were. Now I know that a lot of pants are stiff at first but these were so stiff they resembled jeans. And after the first wash they were even more stiff. I could literally almost stand them up by themselves. It’s been a week or so now and they’ve been washed around 6 times and they’ve barely gotten softer. Not exactly the best pants for competition.

I had to weigh myself to find out how much the gi weighed and it came in at a whopping 4.8 pounds for an A2. 4.8 pounds people…

We appreciate the time you put in this review. I think you did a great job pointing out some of the features and characteristics of the XT.

We work hard to bring a full range of products to market that fit a wide variety of preferences. Yes, by design the XT Gi pants are extremely durable. We had to make these pants Xtra Tough just like the jacket. For those that want a lighter weight pant the Gameness Pearl may be a better option which comes with a pair of rip stop pants like most of the Gameness line.

As always Gameness is also willing to swap pants when ordering to better serve our customers whether it be for size or fabric.

Thank again for supporting and rolling in Gameness.

Very odd... Karmic perhaps..
Within 30 seconds of opening this thread, I got a call from a Gameness rep.

Back in the day (2007 and prior), I was in the Gameness distributor program. Got out of BJJ, and returned just recently; and have been considering a return to the, but I don't have any experience with Gameness gear between 2007 and now. I certainly have the folks that might be interested in Gameness gear.

I'm curious about this gi for sure.
