Lots has to do with personal preference. I'd stick with the middlewt. to heavywt., but no more than 12oz. in the heavy |

Shureido's 16 oz uniforms, tournament cut. Perfect kata uniform, nice bluish white (snow white) tint.
But from cheaper prices, I recommend Kamikaze's uniforms often. Especially the "America" -model has a best price/quality -value I've ever seen. _________________ Jussi Häkkinen

I like Shureido's 16oz uniform. They're more expensive but they last years. Tiger Claw's Hayashi line is ok too but it tends to shrink a bit. _________________ A block is a strike is a lock is a throw. |

I like Proforce. They have all around good quality (to me anyways), and they don't shrink, like the Centery ones do. _________________ Laurie F |

I've got an old 'Kata' Gi that has stood up remarkably. Its mid/heavyweight, definitely get a heavier Gi, they feel better and last longer (also sound good ) I need to replace mine and retire it to secondary status but its like an old glove now! |

And remember when buying Shureido, Kamikaze's heavier equipment etc...
They don't fit perfectly right away. Shureido begins to feel comfortable after some months of training - you have to break it in. However, heavyweight uniforms last well (my older Shureido is over 5 years old now, still like a new one) and look more beautiful than lightweight ones.
My advice would be: Get Kamikaze's America. Cheap (for its quality), lasts well, looks good, comfortable. Costs a bit more than a rag-quality beginner's grade uniform, but will pay back after a while by being superior in performance. _________________ Jussi Häkkinen
