okay, just as an opinion on overall look, feel, and performance. on a scale of 1 - 10. how would you rate these gi's
1. Atama
2. Koral
3. Ouano
4. Shoyoroll
5. Vulkan
6. Krugan
7. Lucky
8. OTM
9. Break Point
10. Fuji
Lucky-9
Break point-6 (buddy just got one and we dont like it)
Gameness-9 I own all gameness gi's (especially gameness elite its awesome!)
Shoyoroll an 8.5 its the only one I've owned off the list, A very hyped up Gi, very awesome but not as awe inspiring as it's made out to be...but very closeI had to send for a replacement drawstring etc and they sent it all free of charge so service was pretty good. I never rate anything a 10 unless there is absolutely no room for improvement so this is a pretty high score from me.
cool, keep em coming!
Fuji - 8 , simply for the quality you get for the price point. I love my Fuji Gi.
Lucky - 9 , love the style
Atama - 7.5 - just a good all around workhorse
Have to agree with BJJLIFESTYLE the gameness elite is pretty sick. It's so nice id rather were that to formal ball than a tuxedo.
Atama-10, Koral-9, Ouano-9, Vulkan-8.5, Lucky-8. I've not owned any of these yet, but from what other people tell me and from what I've had to borrow on the nights I forget my gi, Atama is my favorite. Two of the biggest cons were that with the koral gis everyone had to order a size or 2 larger than what they wear. I tried on an A-4 and it fit me like an A-2. Also, most of the Vulkan gis are made of really abrasive material. One of the guys that goes to my gym loves his but you roll with him and you end up with rug burns EVERYWHERE.
Atama it's so nice and comfy lol. Also, they are very strong and are really hard to tear. overall i'd say 8-9 for it. Other ones I don't know as I do not own any other ones.
That's good to know. I'm ordering one soon so I like to hear things like that. Only problem is I ordered a blue belt from them last Monday and it hasn't showed up yet. I'm starting to wonder if they're flakes or if it's USPS.Originally Posted by lparnes
Yeah I really want to wear to my wedding in January but I dont think that will fly! lol
I have 2 Platinums, 1 of the new feathers, and 1 elite. I Love my old platinums because they are thick, and very durable, but they are kind of heavy sometimes. I love the feather because it is light weight and looks really sharp. And I LOVE the Elite because it looks great, its light and comfortable, has the built in rash guard, and the rip stop pants are light and comfy as well.
Of those on the list I own 4. I am 6 foot even and range between 185 and 200 lbs. Also, I do not get gis to a certain size checking every 15 minutes in the dryer and then wash in cold and hang dry for the life of the gi. I was all of my gis in hot water for at least 3 cycles when they are new and then wash in cold water unless they have blood on them and I dry them in the dryer always. I never hang dry, I much prefer how they feel out of a dryer, but that’s just me.
Koral Classic – 8
I have an A3 and the jacket is large in the body, plenty to wrap around when closing the gi. The sleeves are perfect and the pants, though a little baggy in the waist and crotch fit perfect in length. The fabric of the pants is very nice, I like the way I can scoot and switch my hips while rolling. Shrinkage was minimal, maybe an inch off the sleeves and about 1 off the legs. Don’t believe the pre shrunk hype.
Shoyoroll – 9
I have a batch 7 and have only worn this gi 3 times, but I like it a lot! Again I went with an A3, this one is cut for a slimmer build in the jacket, sleeves and legs, which I like very much. This gi is extremely comfortable and wears outstanding, the shrink on this was about the same as the Koral Classic, or slightly more. I have a feeling that this will be my favorite gi. The hype on this gi is for a rason, it is that good. And they way they market the thing is genius. I pre ordered mine for 158 and they go on ebay for almost twice that.
Lucky -9
In the Lucky I ordered the A4 which was a good thing because it shrunk perfect. This is a very good gi, the fabric is thicker than the others and the collar comfortable. The cord lasted about 3 weeks and started to shred so I had to do surgery on the thing. Since it is a Marcelo gi they handed out replacement draw strings. Shrinkage is substantial, but the fit it very good. 2 plus years and the collar is just starting to fray. This is the most expensive gi I own and after owning less expensive brands I do not see the need to spend this much on a gi. It is a Marcelo go and the embroidery is nice and in perfect condition. This is a great gi!
Gameness Peral – 8
For the money (99 bucks) this gi is outstanding! I have the A3 which shrunk too much to compete in the gi, but remains comfortable and is the one I throw in my bag when I travel. Be wary of shrinkage if you plan on competing in IBJJ events, but this is a great blue collar gi for the player that is gonna ride it hard on a budget and yet get a gi with balls. I rated it as an 8 because of the shrinkage and fabric, the pearl cut can be rough at first but the pants are surpassingly thick for a less expensive gi. Both wear well and get very comfortable in time.
