I checked out the lucky gis at the hermosa beach store and I have to say its pretty damn flashy. the black gi is the only one there I saw(because the chick there said they are flying off the shelf) and it has red stitching all over the place and red pattern on the inside.

so i did hear about atama, and their prices, its not worth it anymore...

a month ago you could get an atama gold for $95, now its $147

atama was good because for the price, it was well worth it, now its not.

Without a doubt... And it's not like it feels weaker than a standard weave, which shocked me. They also have quite possibly the best customer service Ive come across with any product Ive ever purchased. And that's saying something. Would definitely purchase another one when the time comes.

I have an Atama which I love. I can't believe how expensive they have all of a sudden become.

I also have a Dragao which I am not crazy about, but it does the job I guess.

Atama is the cheapest. I have 2 and had both for almost two years, and they look as good as other people who spent a lot more than me.
