This gi is very well constructed, and very comfortable. It feels more substantial than a lot of other gis. The pants are great - I LOVE that they're full ripstop- but the crotch area is a bit baggy - maybe just stylistically different from what I'm used to, so I'm waiting to see if it truly bothers me long term. I love that I get to choose where the patches are placed, and that I didn't have to move any factory patches to place my Academy patches. The downside is that if you don't have the knowledge and equipment to see your own patches on, it can be expensive and slow if you're relying on a tailor or someone else.   Permalink
