On a side note, with Judo, I always went with the double weave for durability. I did the same for the Fuji gi, but it seems a lot of people in BJJ prefer the single weave. Why? Is it a lot lighter for competition reasons?

Double's are hot and mcuh less comfortable but worth the hassle for the advantages in the grip fight. My 60 something Judo coach can only demonstrate certain techniques a few times when I am wearing my Fuji double because the collar is so thick and hard. Most Judoka only wear their doubles for Shia and wear single weaves for training.
With BJJ there is less grip fighting so many guys don't think it is worth the trade off.
I wear a Fuji double for Judo and an Atama Goldweave for BJJ.
