I know this technically belongs into the G&E forum but not all of the grapplers here look into that forum regularly. However, G&E has helped me to narrow down the options and now I would like you to help me make a decision. I am looking for at least on, possibly two (1 normal, 1 lightweight) kimonos. I'm tall and lanky (6'1, 170 lbs) btw.
Lightweight I am considering the
Keiko summer gi (A3)
Groundcontrol Student (350 gr!).
As a normal gi I am considering the
Redstar Stamp (it is really cheap at the moment!)
Redstar Competition Light (goldweave, but 550 gr, so not really light)
MKimonos Hybrid weave
Koral MKM
I have a Fushida CompGS at the moment and love it. But I am afraid that the Stamp might be too similar thus not really feeling like a new gi. The MKimono website is really interesting but their gis are really expensive, so I'd be curious if somebody could really recommend their gis. The Koral would possibly be my favorite but I am afraid the skirt of the A2 might be too short and the A3 would be too big over all.
Isami would also be an option but their inconsistent sizing charts seem to risky for the price. The Kingz 420 is apparently light, but I don't really like the big patch saying Kingz.
So everybody with experience with one or more of the listed gis is most welcome to give their opinion! You would really help me out!
