Ronin Karate Gi - Lightweight Student Training Uniform - Advanced Quality 100% Cotton Martial Arts Gi - Adults & Kids.

These are the brand Gis we wear in our Dojo. In training I wear the heavy weight, but have lightweight as well.There of good quality, but beware to ***wash in cold water, and hang dry***The lightweight will shrink tremendously. I made this mistake on my first Gi.The heavyweight, a small bit.

I bought one of these in a size 5. It fit pretty well right out of the pack. I am 5 foot 11 1/2 " inches tall and about 180. The gi shrunk after the first wash about 3 or 4 inches. I believe this one is real 100% cotton. It is very soft compared to the Ronin Middle Weight gis, especially right out of the pack.I have found that for me, I need to order a size larger in this gi to make it fit right after it shrinks. I went back and ordered a size 6, and even though it was huge on me, I washed it in warm water, and it actually almost shrunk too much! So be careful. Now I only was the gi in cold water, and it seems to not be shrinking anymore and it fits pretty good. I sort of wish the pants had a little more room to move around, I almost consider buying a size 7 just to shrink down so that the pants will fit more roomy.I believe Ronin would be the perfect gi if they made the gusset in the pants twice as big and give much more hip, crotch and leg room for high kicks. To me, this lightweight gi is much more comfortable and breathes so much better than the middleweight gi Ronin makes. That one is very nice, but it is not nearly as soft and cottony feeling and supple as this one. The lightweight gi will shrink a lot too, so you will probably have to at least buy a size larger, and I am even considering buying another one two sizes bigger just to make it shrink down t a more roomier feeling gi than the one I have now that is a size 6.These are very comfortable for hot weather and humidity, the other gis do not seem to breath at all, almost like they have a bit of polyester in them, but maybe I just haven't washed them enough and softened them up. The lightweight gi is great right out of the pack, super comfortable and soft, just be aware it will shrink a lot if you use anything but cold water. Better to order a size up in my opinion!

I bought a size too large based on the many reviews that warned about shrinkage. Perhaps the manufacturer has shifted to preshrunk cotton--in my case (August 2023) the gi did not shrink at all. I ended up washing it 3 times in hot water and using "hot" when drying in a vain attempt to make the fabric shrink. No luck. So the pants have had to be hemmed by about 5-inches to be usable.Great gi otherwise. But sizing is problematic, and the description of the gi should be exact about what to expect.

My wife shortened it up for me and it's a great mid level gi.

Encoje muy poco, cómodo y fresco, de fácil lavado la talla aún cuando encoje un poco solo es poco.

I'm M/6ft/187lbs with regular dad-body! This Gi fit me very well - and is very soft, comfortable, airy & well fitting!The cloth is 100% cotton and shrinked alot after 1st wash. Fits well after 1st was as well.The accompanying white belt if pretty hefty, wide, sturdy built too.I first ordered size 6, but that looked like 2 sizes bigger for me. Hence got size 5.Overall, I loved this Gi!

After reading the reviews I still wasn't quite sure what to expect. For those of you out there like me, whose kids are ready for a better gi than the paper thin, cardboard-stiff one you currently own, this is great. The more I wash it the softer it gets. Looks and feels so much nicer than those horrible ones all of our poor kids have to endure when they start karate. I assumed all gis were created equal. NOT! It's like night and day. Yes, it's not cheap but it's something that lasts. Trust me, it's worth the splurge if you or your kid dread putting on that costume-quality one your instructor encouraged you to get!

This product is very good quality.For those purchasing this product, pay attention to the size chart. It is very accurate. If your weight or height isn't an exact match for the chart then you could go with the the section that is higher or you could just buy them separately.
