I just received my Koral gi from JiuJitsuprogear. I have to say its a real nice gi, very light, and comfortable. The cuffs are a little tighter than I expected. My biggest concern is the collar. The collar is super thin. I mean it almost feels like one of those cheap century gi's collar. Why would they do this. I am debating on if i should keep it or return it. The collar is super thin? What do you guys think?

the collar is fine, your koral should last you a long time.

I have seen some guys in my gym that have knock off koral gi's they are made wicked cheap. Looks like the collar was deflated like a ballon. i heard JJProgear had good service though.

The collar is fine, its stretchy like a rubber band which helps defeat chokes.

where can I get these ripoffs?

Yeah they have thin ass collars. Doesn't matter though. I get choked less with my mkimono and the collar is just as thin.

I am just worried that they collar is too thin and it might be easier to do collar chokes. But if you guys say that it is actually a good gi to defend chokes then i guess i wont worry too much. If the pros wear koral than im sure its not easy to get choked.

Koral make awesome gis. doesnt matter about the collar

The Koral collar is thin because it is mostly rubber with a layer of cotton fabric over over it. Other gis just have many layers of fabric which make it stiffer & thicker.

Koral does that for lightness & comfort, & the gi also dries much faster because of it. I love mine, I haven't noticed any difference rolling in it except that its much more comfortable.
