Gi Review: Vangaard Gi in red!

[Meerkatsu]

Got hold of this gi...made by a Swiss company called Vangaard but sold through a US/French company called Ayabuza.

It's really bling, but not for the shy!

The quality is pretty good, but it is expensive - on par with Koral MKM or Isami. I love the embroidery abd some of the patches, not sure about the circular patch. The weave is pearlweave and the pants are canvas, so pretty tough and durable.

I did a really thorough review with million of pics and sizes and shrink rates here:

Couple more pics:

Nice chest patch

Nice back embroidery

A2 fits me pretty good after x2 washes.

Vangaard is a bit big compared to an A2 Vulkan Pro:

and the sleeves seem a lot wider than my other gis:

but it looks cool nonetheless:

good review like that brand, too but in my opinion the gi is a little bit overloaded with all those logos

Great review..interesting gi..never heard of it

Def not my style but nice addition to your collection.

Besides a red gi and a black belt I would look like f'in Santa Claus...LOL

Grade A review.

I'm diggin the red. I'm a red fan, so this gi looks like it'd be awesome on the mats.

I searched a few sites for this gi. Can't find it anyway for sale. HALP?!

I got mine from AYABUZA.COM BRAND SINCE 2001 - search under 'MMA JJB' tab and click uniforms.

GSP rocks some Vangaard from time to time. Looks amazing, but I don't think I'm ready to rock a red gi.

Edit: just saw that this gi is available in white, which is more my style, and it looks just as good if not better. Also pictured (though not thoroughly) in blue and apparently available in black and khaki (not pictured on Ayabuza's site).
