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

The gi is claimed to be made of 100% cotton. But in fact it is made with only 55% cotton and the rest is polyester. Disappointed in the false claims. However, it will do the job.

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!

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!

Very nice quality. I had to shorten the pants but I knew that from the other reviewers. I ordered a size 5 and I am 5'9" tall so I needed to take off about 1.5" from the length.

Excellent quality but I spent the better part of an hour going over size charts, reading questions and answers and going through reviews, now that I purchased one for my 6' 2 135 lb. grandson size 5. I came to the conclusion that if you buy for an large framed (heavy) person your probably OK. The pants and jacket we have could easily fit my grandson and I together the length of the pants after washing in cold water and hung dried would be considered high waters. So anything larger would be ridiculous.

Good stitching, rough material that almost "sings" like the heavier versions at time, at a fair price. The pants are comfortable. It's the first time i use this kind of fastening, in which the waist is tightened on the sides, but it works and is not intrusive.Good enough for summer training: doesn't smell and doesn't accumulate perspiration for long.Sleeves are a little short and tight around the shoulders (there is added stiching at the armpits which I assume is for sturdiness. Meaning, it's not stiched like a T-shirt) but that may be down to size. I like a lot of freedom. Being 1.60m~ / 5.3~ I ordered a size 3. 4 might've been better, but for that price I wouldn't be against ordering a second suit.The black belt is of very poor quality. I won't be using it. Very artificial material that is spongy.

I purchased this for my son's role-playing videos he and his friend like to make. The gi is excellent quality, fits nicely. Now, if only I could get him to do some real martial arts training. Unfortunately, my black belt in Shotokan hasn't encouraged him.

Great service and fast. I did get what I want and was as it said on the page .love it !
