## Questions & Answers

**Q: How breathable is this Gi and does the dye from the black one irritate the skin?**
A: It is very breathable because it doesn't accumulate the sweat. I don't feel like I'm slowly cooking inside it like i did suits that are half-polyester.
I do not own a black suit so i wouldn't br able to tell.

**Q: I'm just under 5'8" and 200-205lbs. would the size 5 be ok for me?**
A: You are caught in the middle of sizes. A 5 will fit your height but perhaps not your girth, but a 6 will be very long. 
   I would go with the size 5. It's an excellent gi.

**Q: I'm 6’3 180lbs--which size would be the best fit? Also, does this include a white belt?**
A: I would suggest that you select a size based on your height. You would then need to make some alterations depending on the fit. If you purchase the gi, it would include the white belt. Another option would be to by the jacket and pants separately. In this case, you might end up getting a size that might not need to be altered. In this case you would have to purchase the belt separately.

**Q: One reviewer has mentioned that it is mixed fabrics (polyester and cotton). Can you please verify that this Gi is 100% cotton, please?**
A: This one will have 100% cotton .   The person that gave the review that said they received a poly cotton mix  was offered to have that taken back and resent the correct model.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid brand. Worth the money.
*by P***E on March 14, 2025*

These are the brand Gis we wear in our Dojo. In training I wear the heavy weight, but have lightweight as well.There of good quality, but beware to ***wash in cold water, and hang dry***The lightweight will shrink tremendously. I made this mistake on my first Gi.The heavyweight, a small bit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a great gi once you figure out the right size to order!
*by J***M on November 27, 2020*

I bought one of these in a size 5. It fit pretty well right out of the pack. I am 5 foot 11 1/2 " inches tall and about 180. The gi shrunk after the first wash about 3 or 4 inches. I believe this one is real 100% cotton. It is very soft compared to the Ronin Middle Weight gis, especially right out of the pack.I have found that for me, I need to order a size larger in this gi to make it fit right after it shrinks. I went back and ordered a size 6, and even though it was huge on me, I washed it in warm water, and it actually almost shrunk too much! So be careful. Now I only was the gi in cold water, and it seems to not be shrinking anymore and it fits pretty good. I sort of wish the pants had a little more room to move around, I almost consider buying a size 7 just to shrink down so that the pants will fit more roomy.I believe Ronin would be the perfect gi if they made the gusset in the pants twice as big and give much more hip, crotch and leg room for high kicks. To me, this lightweight gi is much more comfortable and breathes so much better than the middleweight gi Ronin makes. That one is very nice, but it is not nearly as soft and cottony feeling and supple as this one. The lightweight gi will shrink a lot too, so you will probably have to at least buy a size larger, and I am even considering buying another one two sizes bigger just to make it shrink down t a more roomier feeling gi than the one I have now that is a size 6.These are very comfortable for hot weather and humidity, the other gis do not seem to breath at all, almost like they have a bit of polyester in them, but maybe I just haven't washed them enough and softened them up. The lightweight gi is great right out of the pack, super comfortable and soft, just be aware it will shrink a lot if you use anything but cold water. Better to order a size up in my opinion!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sizing is problematic
*by P***G on October 7, 2023*

I bought a size too large based on the many reviews that warned about shrinkage. Perhaps the manufacturer has shifted to preshrunk cotton--in my case (August 2023) the gi did not shrink at all. I ended up washing it 3 times in hot water and using "hot" when drying in a vain attempt to make the fabric shrink. No luck. So the pants have had to be hemmed by about 5-inches to be usable.Great gi otherwise. But sizing is problematic, and the description of the gi should be exact about what to expect.
