Vulkan Pro light Gi - Review.

xbourquex · 07-26-2009, 08:59 PM

After finally receiving my new Vulkan Gi I decided to write a review for you guys and for anyone who was thinking of buying a Vulkan Gi.

I am 5'10 and 150-165 lbs.

I ordered a blue A2 Vulkan Gi.

Pros:
It's a very light Gi with a thick collar compared to the rest of the Gi.
The new patches are actually nice.(They didn't look that good on the photo, but they're nice)

(I havn't rolled with it yet since I just received it, but I will give more detail on the Gi.)

Cons:
*This isn't just Vulkan but, I have long legs and monkey arms so the pants and sleeves are small, I would need some A3 pants and longer sleeves lol.
The price, compared to other Gi's, was pretty expensive. It cost nearly 200$ with shipping. I would highly recommend a Fuji Gi for the occasional user, rather than this one.
The pants seem to be alittle thin, but then again I will give a more indepth review when I will have rolled in it.

love the details now im curious how much it might shrink but it sounds like that might be something you are going to try and avoid

Yeah GFG I wash in cold and air dry. I have already washed it once with vinegar and soap and Vulkan gi's are "preshrunk" so they have less of a tendency to shrink, but it still happens. I really have to watch it because the sleeves are so short on every Gi I try. Anyone else have that problem or could someone recommend a Gi that has longer than average sleeves?
