Got a question for you, if you only had to pick 1 gi out of the ones you have, which one would you pick?

Koral?

thanks ryan, i've got alot experience

Hmm 1 kimono? I would go with venum... 2nd sirius 3rd keiko 4th Gameness 5th Koral!

My 1 and 2 place in the kimono turn are saved by venum and sirius. Maybe i will add a vulkan.

You're absolut right, its high priced. But in Europe thinks are different. Here a Vulkan is at 140 € (200 $?), a koral 160 € (220 $?)....

Which Kimono is better then the venum? Lets face it:

Koral = single weave, ripping sleeves/Patches, Holes in the jacket
Keiko = weired collar, to wide sleeves, for my taste to long skirt
HCK = judo cut, to heavy
gameness Platinum = To heavy, particular illegal collar (Euro the ref wont let my mate start)
sirius = nice but only 2nd place. For guys with low budget
Kikskin = shitty service, still waiting for my replacement, searchfunction please

dude i really have it all. its not a smacktalk, i am just be honest too.

So first things first. I paid 155 €, thats over 200$ for the best kimono in my collection. I dont regret it, its a very good kimono and move up to my competition Kimono.

Like you guys know, the collar gained some inches and its now really hard to manipulate. Not like the gameness/HCK but its over the average Collar thickness.

The Kimono does shrink a bit, so be careful. I wash it 60° first and it shrink perfectly as you can see. I do some "low detail" pictures to give some better impression of the gi. Any doubts - just go to page 1 and look it up with detail pics.

edit sorry

[Kimuralex]

gordinho, how many kimonos you got man?

[Gordinho]

Most of my kimono i sold or give away to some friends...

To be honest. I've got only 3 kimono. white and black venum 1.0 + blue venum 2.0

Gordinho, I was wondering since you dont worry about cost so much, have you tried a Lucky Gi out at all?

I´m considering a higher priced kimono for tournaments *using a gameness platinum at the moment* and I liked the look of the Venum, so now im trying to choose,
