is that site trustworthy? im thinking about getting foam shin pads coz im cheap..aint nothing wrong with foam shins..it might split at a few spots some day but w/ duct tape or the correct color of duct tape u can always fix that

Only way to find out is to call them during regular business hours and see if the pick up. Hopefully, they don't make you wait and have you pressing every key for a different extension

Does anyone know how these sizes run or if they shrink?

I'm 6'1 175, not sure if i should go with an a2 or a3

I'd imagine A3, because I'm similar. I have an ATAMA #5 A3 that I can't shrink, and a Gameness Pearl A4 that I should've shrunk quite a bit. But I think since I dropped weight from 190, an A3 will do me just right in most any gi if I wash cold and hang dry.

Maybe someone who has the Manto can verify though, because I think come Christmas time, this is what I'm asking for. Looks very nice, and you're likely to not see anybody else with it.

 

[the basics]

I'm 5'9 175lbs and this thing is baggy. Hopefully it will shrink. Should I have went with the a1? I like a more for fitted feel which was advertised of how the fit was on budo and on the manto usa site. Only washed it once. Should I expect it to shrink even more? I hope so...
