Light gi for Judo?

I’ve read a number of threads about summer gi’s including the groundcontrol, SSF and Vulkan. My question is in most of the threads it is either stated or I am assuming these are being used for BJJ. Are these to light for Judo? Will they rip from the pulling?

I will be starting Judo/BJJ classes in late July early August when the weather will be at it’s hottest. I went in and watched a class and I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt and due to lack of air-conditioning and only the use of big fans I was sweating balls just watching, I can’t imagine doing the class with a heavy gi...

You can get a Mizuno Single weave and it's pretty light but the best part is that it's legal in Judo.

What about for workout/training purposes though? I doubt I will ever compete in Judo I'm only taking it because the school I will be going to likes you to take it as a good foundation for 6 months before entering there BJJ class.

Then any single weave BJJ gi will work. The Kikskin is a good (lower cost) gi. The Koral gi is also a good light gi that you should be able to use.

The cut is totally different. The judo gi has wider arm holes, longer skirt, 2 piece design. A JJ gi is cut much closer and most are a one piece design.
