Kagi Gi is fantasic. So far i've had good luck and would Recomend Kagi or Atama.. here is the review i sent in for Joker's site:
I just recieved my Kagi sport armor. It arrived three days after order, and I have to say that I read a lot of bad things about customer service. I believe this has been completly worked out, as they have been 100% helpful with my order and many questions. The Gi itself is lighter than my Atama double weave (a very heavy Gi), and it has no seam in the back (not that i've ever had a problem with that in my Atama, but I do see people mention it). The Gi is strong and comfortable, soft inside, and Very tough collar. The sport armor has the two inch collar which is very formidable. Some people may call it "cheater" style, but it is a nice Gi for competition, and light and comfortable enough for training. Very sturdy pants and great overall construction (though the single loop in the front threw me at first, im used to it). The only "problem" was email questions, but that is okay, since they are VERY easy to get ahold of with the phone number on their website, and they're more than happy to talk you through everything, answering questions about size/patches/returns, ect. I wanted one without the shoulder patches, and they assured me the patches were designed to be easily removed, which is true. The writing on the leg is permanent, but its not bad, and i'm covering it with a patch from my school anyway. When I called to check the status (because i was anxious, not because it was late) they called UPS and tracked it for me, and called me back to check my order. They assured me that the size chart was after the wash and dry (only one time you machine dry), and though it looked huge when it arrived, it shrank to a perfect fit. It even came with a belt (although it'd be a bit small, and i'm a skinny guy). They also told me that if I had any problems with size after washing (which I did not) that it would be okay to exchange. I ordered this Gi by recomendation of my instructor, who has had his for 6 years. I must say, top of the line Gi, and any questions about customer service have been erased in my mind.
