I've been looking at Asia World's selection of gis on line. Their judo line in particular. With the use I'm looking for, the Gladiator and Proforce are the two I'm looking to chose from. Both are single weave. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with either brand. Or a recomendation for either company based off of other gis you've bought from the same companies.
Thanks in advance for any help here.

Sizing Tip: the tops and bottoms are bigger than the size you actually order.. I wore 4 in Judo and it is huge on me.. so I got a 3 and it fitted better...

The Proforce gi has a sizing chart that gives all of the measurements, not just the height/weight chart that most use. I'll be hitting a size 4 most likely after looking at it. I usually mis-match mine gi when ordering. A 4 pant and a 5 jacket. I like the extra room in the shoulders, though have to roll the sleeves most of the time. I had an old Century double weave size 5. Good grief, that thing could hold half the guys at the dojo and have room to spare. At least the pants. I think they had something like a 60" waist when pulled all the way out. 5'9" and 180lbs? I think not.
Anyone know about how well they stand up, brand wise in general?
