-----CRAPPY GOOGLE TRANSLATE VERSION -----
Do or Die. The punks of us will probably think of the album from Dropkick Murphys, to bagpipes, and a corresponding moshpit. Unfortunately. We go to the mat, let the Gi home and dive into the world of Grappling. That was a while since! Thanks doordieeurope.com !
ABOUT DO OR DIE
Do or Die is a nice newcomer, who immediately the necessary impression has managed to make a very good Hyperfly Gi and a very good league team. The headquarters of Do or Die is located in San Diego so it is not surprising that Xande Rebeiro there is part of it.
Since early this year, Groundfighter.eu sales of Do or Die undertaken within Europe. We got one in and let us be happy demolition during this review.
DIMENSIONS AND SPECS (OR WITH WEIGHTS)
This time no schedule before and after measurements, as a measure rashguard even for us not to. The person normally has a gi a2, with a total arm length of about 170cm. With 181 cm and 73 kg S was perfect. They are American sizes, so you might order a size smaller than usual.
What is striking is the relatively heavy weight of the rashguard (probably all seams, more on this later). With more than 260 grams, the rashguard heavier than a comparable Hayabusha (198gr) and a Bad Boy (182gr). In terms of comfort, however, you make nothing of it. (Also on this later!)
If we load up the specs have taken home the following:
Technically advanced moisture management fabric High-density rubber stamping and finishing Antibacterial flash infrared laser cut seams.
The logos are also subliminal dyed (or printed in the product itself) so they will not come after hard training or by frequent washing separately. Indeed, ultimately, the entire rashguard printed. The base is a white substance, which all surfaces with color printed. This is in contrast to an Under Armour rashguard. This has its pros and cons ... Right! More on this later.
COMFORT & FINISH
Comfort. The main feature of a rashguard course. Comfortable is the rashguard absolutely, after a short period of time to get used to. Where a normal rashguard namely has 4 panels (front, rear and two sleeves), this Do or Die Rashguard whopping 12 (!) Panels. A lot of panels, a lot of stitching. Getting used to, but soon you notice nothing more. Indeed, the placement of the panels is really perfect!
With the number of seams and in this rashguard is the need to work well, and fortunately this is certainly the case. Outside a loose wire end occasionally there is nothing to find the decomposition of the quality.
As a point of attention (but not actually to blame or prevent) the love-hate relationship with velcro. I myself had earguards during testing rashguard and after training I found unfortunately a stripe on the rashgaurd where the Velcro and rashguard had a confrontation. It is a result of the white base of the rashguard that have any idea at the stands. No quality issue, just look.
It did not apply for the Velcro of the short (although you would expect that before). So you do not wear earguards, then there is nothing to make sure yourself
So take that you wash with any shorts or earguards is doing a wash!
LOOKS
Gray, black and white. Three logos (both shoulders and chest) and twice Do or Die written (on the neck and wrist). Although you would expect rather a design a la Tapout by name Do or Die is a very "clean" rashguard remained.
The review model was a longsleeve rashguard, the rashguard is also available with short sleeves.
Furthermore, there is not much to say about it. No dragons, no skulls, just clean. And also "just" safe for the gym.
Do or Die has also ranked rashguards, but these are not (yet?) Not available from Do or Die Europe.
SERVICE DO OR DIE EUROPE
As previously mentioned, the Groundfighter.eu that Do or Die has brought to Europe. So expect the same service as in Groundfighter. Fast shipping, fast response to questions and it's someone who already trains for years and years and therefore know what is talked.
The rashguard is available from 59.50 Doordieeurope.com . Cheaper than Hayabusha, just more expensive than incidental or Venum Bad Boy.
