I received the Gameness Pearl and the Atama summer-weight gis last night; when I get the Keiko Raca one, I'll photograph them all and post a review.

I will say, preliminarily, that the Atama is very light and comfortable, but since it's made from canvas or twill like a karategi, it seems a little strange to grapple in it. It's definitely very sturdy feeling, but the Gameness gi is the more usual knobbly woven material so appearance-wise, it's more standard. I've never been one to shy away from nonconformity (and if that Kyra Gracie Atama gi were a better shade of pink I'd be all about it) but I don't want people continually telling me I'm wearing the wrong kind of gi just based on the material.

Anyway, photos etc to come.
