Choose My Gi!

breakpoint — Option 1: Break Point Light Weight

That’s right. I’m asking you to choose my next gi, something I haven’t worn before and that you haven’t worn before, so we can get a review and all learn more! The original thread is here on MegJitsu on Facebook

Three gi you suggested stood out for me: Break Point women’s light weight; Catfight Gear; and Vulkan women’s light weight in lavender.

vulcan-lavender — Option 3: Vulkan in Lavender

So here’s the deal. Leave a comment naming the gi you’d most like tested and review. Would be psyched to try any of these kimono and I leave it in your hands!

Addendum

Thanks very much for choosing the Break Point gi for me. It has a fine fit and very comfortable fabric. Check out the review!

  It is pretty fierce, Colin, and that’s been the favourite, but starting to even up now. Voting won’t close until 9AM BST on Friday, so we’ll see! I’d be chuffed to rock any of them; glad I don’t have to choose 😀

My 3-year old daughter says the Cat Fight one because says “pink is the best…simple!”.

  LOL! That’s awesome Dan, thanks for sharing. Man I tell you, I am drawn to the little paws on the Catfight patch – too cute and sassy!

For something I’ve not tried before it would have to be the breakpoint over the vulkan (lavendar :S). I already own a catfight gi and I love it. They are heavier than the other gis suggested so not for use in very warm weather but when the gym is cold in the winter it is my absolute favourite. I have seen people who say its hard to get in contact with catfight gear but once you get the right email address they are great!!

  Thank you, Catriona! I have heard great things about Catfight gi and I dig the chance to customise and being too warm is not a problem; such a cold summer in London this year 😉
  
  If the verdict is Catfight, I might chase you for the best email if I need customer service, if that’s okay. At the moment it is BP, Catfight and Vulkan last (including blog, FB and G+ comments).

I say NO to Catfight Gear, a company that stresses looking good before anything else. A poo-poo to them!

I rolled with someone who was wearing the lavender gi and I had gi envy. That thing felt awesome and looked great!

Lavender gi!!!
