Its getting hotter out there and I'm looking for decently price light weaved Gi's. I currently own 2 Atama Summer Gi's but they dont make those anymore instead now selling a Ultra Lite which sounds like the exact same but for $50 more... Fuji Summer Gi's seem to be the most affordable from research though I've never heard of them. Any suggestions/recommendations?
Atama Summer is made of completely different material than Atama Ultra-Lite: Summer is made of canvas while Ultra-Lite is made of regular gi material except lighter than a single weave
Koral competition MKM gi. its really light, breathes well, and i love mine. its pretty pricey though. i still think its worth it. oh and they come in lots o' colors! :icon_chee
Yes, Vulkan is really lighter than most gi's on the market. For example, we weighted some gi's and... VULKAN A2 - 1560 grams or 3.439 lb KORAL A2 - 1920 grams or 4.233 lb ATAMA A2 - 1990 grams or 4.387 lb WAR A2 - 2300 grams or 5.071 lb DRAGAO A2 - 1950 grams or 4.299 lb BFW
Naja Extreme has one of the lightest weight gi's on the market today. Beautiful Gi. Soft and durable. Pre-shrunk (about 80%). Great cut, fit and styling. To keep it in perspective with previous posts: A2 = 1485 Grams Hope this helps. Take care, Chris - Red Dragon Fight Company
Thanks for the great information on the weights and breathability. Has anyone encountered any issues of being torn easily on any of the gis?
