I own the Pearl

Yeah and its pretty dope. Runs a tad big as I weigh 230 and a A3 is a bit big. This gi is just so light its amazing, yet you can feel how tough it is. Solid find and it has instantly jumped to #1 in my rotation.

A few questions here.
O and shoutout to renzos i train under his blackbelt!

How is the overall look of the gi? does the patches on the side of the gi (like koral) look alright
Secondly, you said it was "really" light, my concern is just wear and tear. i would wear it to training 2 times a week, will it hold up.

What weaves is it? Is it like gold, with the feel of a single weave

and thirdly, summers coming up, is it deffinatly worth putting in the summer/all around rotation?

Its between a regular koral and that, what is your opinion?

Thanks.
The overall look of the gi is clean and sharp. It has stripes down the side of the pants and on the bottom of the jacket. It feels like it is very tough, but as I have not yet put it through 3 years of hell like I have my gameness platnum, I can not yet comment on that.

It is a single weave like the Koral, but feels stronger than a standard single weave.

and lastly this gi is made to be in your year round roatation

I have never been disapointed in a gameness product.

O sounds neat, so would you have any recommendations between that and a koral? Or you are impartial. It looks like not a clean white in the pictures. In reality its very white and not dull at all? because i already have a blue Sirius tiger and i want something nice but not flashy at all. Its preshrunk right? Where did you find the size chart? and also the platinum is the only weave the gameness makes? Is that like a gold weave basically.

Sorry for asking you so many questions but the gi stuff for me is life and death. I really appreciate it.
