Where can I get an Atama gi AND a Koral backpack/duffel bag?

Arguemaniac · 07-01-2008, 08:58 PM

Well after racking my brains trying to figure out what gi to buy, I've decided to go with the safe bet; I already have an Atama single weave and since I know what I'm getting (i know the fit, the quality, etc) I'm gonna go with another (though I might get a summer gi or spring for a gold weave - i'm still weighing the pro's and cons of a lighter versus heavier gi).

But, I was shopping around at a few sites and I found these Koral backpacks and duffel bags. I want to get one but I can't seem to find a site that sells both. Anyone know where I can can get em in one place?

In fact, I'm having a little trouble finding the Atamas anywhere other than the official Atama site, any suggestions on this note?

Finally, I'm open suggestions for suitable alternatives to Atama, the Korals seem nice, but I'm told they don't shrink at all (my A3 Atama was a better fit after it shrank a little in the dryer), and I've heard it's the same with the Vulkans.

Let me know what you can...

I have Atama and you can use the SDOG discount code. As far as the Koral, JJProgear is the only company that can sell you that. They are pretty good though. I have purchased from them before and had a fine experience.

Ya but they don't sell the atamas, or do they, is it on the site there and I just missed it?

I don't think JJ Pro gear has Atama. I do though at Rio Fight Wear. And I don't have Koral, nor can I get it, but JJProgear does. You'd have to get the bag from them but you can get the gi from me with the discount if that helps.

Thanks for that, a nice little discount might be a good chance to get one of their slick Mundials, if I don't change my mind and go with the Koral, I might just throw my Gi dollars your way...

I'm now trying to make my pilgrimage to jjprogear a annual thing. I'm gonna try to fly to the city every year and do my 40 mins of shopping LOL

That Mundial is my new favorite gi. The pants are awesome on the Mundial 7. I currently have 10 gi's in the rotation and I have had dozens. The Mundial 7 by Atama is my favorite ever. The single weaves and double weaves are as good as anything, but there is nothing like the Mundial 7.

I got two quick questions for ya,

One, what's the difference between between the Mundial #5's and the #7's? Aren't the #5's newer?

Also, how does that single weave Keiko Raca on your site compare to a single weave Atama, as far as quality and fit are concerned?
