Is the Vulkan the lightest Gi?

[awkwardpenguin]

Simple question. its an amazing 3 lbs. thats crazy.

 

[Gordinho]

naja gi are lighter.

 

[anaconda]

koral ultra lite feels lighter, fwiw.

 

[stu3ufc**]

i wouldn't recomend a vulkan

i wouldn't recomend a vulkan

Why is that?

 

[awkwardpenguin]

Im also looking at this gi. Hows the weave on the inside?

 

[stu3ufc**]

Why is that?

other than being light and looking good they dont hold up very well once sweaty and your partner is pulling at it --it becomes very baggy especially around the sleaves. the collar is too thin and you get choked easy

the pants arent great and you should buy rip stop material in the koral/atama summer light versions

i moved back to gold weaves after light kimonos

I felt like passing out

The vulkan is very light but it is not the lightest. My vulkan Gi weighs 3 pounds, 15.5 ounces. My Koral Light weighs 3 pounds, 12 ounces. The differences is all in the jacket. The weight difference in the pants was zero.
Pairing the Koral jacket up with the Amata pants is the lightest way to go. this will give you a Gi weight of 3 pounds, 9 ounces.
These are all for size A3.
