Description:


The sizing on this uniform may not be what you're expecting. PLEASE be sure to check our size charts to make sure you're going to get a good fit as we want to save you the trouble of doing an exchange. (though we DO have the best exchange policy in the industry!)

This is a bleached white extra heavy weight "instructors" karate gi. It's made of long-strand 14 oz 100% brushed cotton canvas so it's much softer than traditional heavy canvas uniforms (we got tired of washing our uniforms for a year to get them to soften up - if you LIKE getting rubbed raw from a new canvas uniform, this is not the one to get).

This Piranha Gear brand gi includes pants with a traditional drawstring waist, reinforced groin, and heavy stitching throughout to ensure durability. The pants, jacket and sleeves all have 8 rows of stitching at the hem. It is truly a "top-of-the-line" uniform.

We were tired of the drawstrings calling it quits before the uniform. So these drawstrings and jacket ties are made of the same heavy material as the uniform (but quadruple folded) so they won't tear after the first year. We also have a nylon lining put inside the drawstring "tunnel" of the pants. That makes tightening them much easier - especially when they get sweaty.

The jacket has shorter "work-out" or "tournament" length sleeves (4/5 length) rather than full length "formal" sleeves - specifically for comfort and convenience. That means the sleeves will ride a couple inches above your wrist rather than cover it.

These uniforms do tend to run a little large, so if you're not sure about the fit, we recommend that you get the smaller size.

This is NOT intended for beginning students and we'd suggest you consider a light weight gi before investing in one of these. It does NOT come with a belt because, honestly, you probably already have one if you're ordering this...

Features:
  • Super return or exchange policy - no restocking fees EVEN IF YOU WASHED IT! Only one like that in the industry!|

  • eal choice for advanced students and instructors

  • Extra heavy weight, soft brushed 14 oz (!) cotton

  • 8 rows of stitching for hems and jacket

  • Reinforced in high stress areas of jacket AND pants

5Excelent product - Better service  Jan 25, 2009
By Thomas A. Deboeser
This is a very well designed Gi. The cut is great for fighting/sparring ( kumite ), it allows for better range of movement. I not big fan of drawstring type pants, but the design on these is well thought out. It pulls evenly without discomfort.
The material is top notch, as is the stitching. The package arrives packed with care, and included with the gi are care directions - typed in booklet form. Not just a piece of paper clumsily cut with scissors, in other words these people care about their product.

That leads me to best part of this product - the customer service. You tell Piranha cares about what they've created and sell. But more than that, their response to email and the handling of returns is excellent. I ordered a size below what I normally order, because I thought a smaller size would give me the shorter arms and legs I was looking for. And my body probably fits a 3 1/2, best. When I discovered the size 3 was too small Piranha accepted my return, but wanted to know more about my sizing... so they could improve on their product ( I don't think they need to change anything though ).

For the price I don't think you can find a better gi. And with fantastic customer service, and a product made in the USA it can't be beat.
I shop with many small company's because of my hobbies, and it's a hard life running a small business. Hopefully Piranha's hard work will pay off.

5 stars!!!

5Karate Uniform Review  Jan 25, 2010
By Daniel Beckman "Ohio Kayak"
Very well made. This is definitely a heavy weight uniform, so it is a little stiff, but makes a great sound with kicks and punches.

5High Quality, Low Price  May 31, 2008
By Michael S. Gregg "Butch"
Seriously, this heavyweight Dogi is a true bargain. It is every bit as thick as my Shureido, but is much softer. I feels like you've been wearing it for over a year. Definitely purchase one if you're in the market right now. These cost less than other medium or student weight Dogi.

They do run SLIGHTLY large; not extra large. So, if you normally get a 5.5 from Shureido, get a 5 from Piranha.

The "tails" of the kimono are longer than I like, but that's a small matter.

I like the 4/5 sleeves on mine.

They do not offer embroidery.

Overall, a FANTASTIC Dogi, at an unbelieveable price.

5Awesome Gi and an even greater company!  Apr 24, 2008
By R. Liebespach "RickLiebespach"
This gi is an amazing value! At 14oz it's heavier than my Sheradio, and with it's bushed cotton, it's softer too. When I ordered the gi I goofed. I ordered two size 5. I meant to order one size 4 and one size 5, because I read these run large... I wanted to cover my bases. The reviewer who said they run large was correct. In talking(email) with the company I found them to be very friendly... like family. They even sent me a size 4 to try out. I eventually sold one of the size 5 to a fellow instructor, and EVENTUALLY returned the other size 5. In the meantime the owner of Piranha Gear, and I stayed in contact, exchanging conversation ranging from my being an instructor to his relatives playing paintball (I'm also part of a paintball team... Warriors For Christ). I know we will remain in contact because Piranha is more than just a company, they are people who care.... Right now I'm waiting to order my next gi... from Piranha Gear. (they are momentarily out of stock on the particular gi I want) Right now I don't see myself buying a gi anywhere else... partly due to the high quality/low price, and partly because of there people!

You will not regret a purchase from Piranha Gear.
