Venum 2.0 Gi "Review" - I'm impressed

[Gordinho]

Hey Guys,

a teammate ask me to order a A2 White Venum Kimono, he dont have a paypal account, so was doing my part and order one...

And here the story begins. As i opened the Bag to check if my fatbody gets slimmer :redface:, i recognized that venum changed the size chart. The A2 have almost a A3 dimension... For sure its not a A3 but its comparable with a keiko& Koral a2.

Also i recognize alot of changes. The patches are bigger, the Cotton feels alot lighter and smoother as my old Venum. The Collar grows 1 cm :icon_surp and feels more stiffer. And the most importanted part: The reinforcements and stitches are, compared to my old venum, 10x better.

Again, what should i say, this Kimono is for real.

those gis cost 180 on sale.. no way am i paying that much for that gi. A gameness is about a hundred, a fuji around 70, heck a vulcan is about 110. Shit for that money i will buy a ground force gi and a rashie.

I think the price is ok, especially in europe. But you're right, its not cheap but you get what you paid for. I am still impressed and order myself a blue one

No its not dirty, it just looked used. I dont know how to get it white again. Any suggestions?

sometimes you need to wash it with some good stain remover

the patches looks similar, but very think else is improved. Hmm, why did my kimono turn yellow.... I dont use bleach, to be honest i dont know. I just wash it every time after a session. 30

Gordinho,
I must say, you got great attention to detail thanks for the review.

Got a question for you, if you only had to pick 1 gi out of the ones you have, which one would you pick?

Koral?
