Personally I like Vulcan. They are light, durable and i prefer the way the collar is over some others. Never tried the WRONG FORUM ASSHOLE, but i heard they are getting old and needs to be more creative in their approach.

Well played sir.

You can't go wrong with a Vulcan or Koral MKM.

I LOVE my Sirius Gi. You just gotta wash on cold and air dry so it doesn't shrink.

 Atama is great . very solid, in the 150.00 range. I'm 6 2" and 245 and I wear a A3.



Good beginner gi's are Padilla Bros. and  Fuji Gi's. They run 79.00 or so.

I recommend getting the cheapest and crappiest gi possible. If you don't roll enough to already have an opinion on what to buy, then there is a good chance you will not be using your gi enough to justify the $100+ price tag.

I have a $100 gi and a $35 gi. The only difference I can really tell is that one has a stripe and the jacket isn't quite as long.

 It would help if you put the cheap brand Generic ;-)

I'm not sure mine had a brand. I walked into a martial arts supply store, asked what the cheapest gi they had was. I think it was under $40, including tax.

Like my laptop. My laptop is a "Great Quality" laptop. That's the brand name. And so far, it has held up longer than my last one, which was a major name brand.

I don't believe in buying fancy shit unless you really have a reason for it. Every once in a while I get screwed by this philosophy, but in the long run it works out.

 ^150.00 plus shipping is too much for a first gi.

 All of the gi's mentioned (except the TKD gi) would be good choices.  We also have a great gi that you might like.  You can see them at:
