What do you like better???...

[WolverineGuy]

My school isn't big on gi's; but I wear middle or heavy when I grapple. I prefer middleweight overall.

I don't like unforms. Too formal.

the heavy weight last longer in time wise through washes and also look better in my opinion and they feel great.

 

i really live my 16oz gi it stands up on its own, its great.

Middleweight

[Jussi Häkkinen]

Heavyweight, preferably 14-18oz. High quality heavyweight do-gi are actually cooler than the middleweight ones, since they stay away from the skin and allow the air to change inside the do-gi when one moves. Stiff fabric is a must.

That being said, I'm tempted to try the new Tokaido, Hirota and Shureido uniforms that combine the stiffness and durability of a heavyweight do-gi to the lightness and breathability (of fabric) of a lightweight do-gi. The main benefit would be the packing for seminars etc. - heavyweight do-gi tend to take a lot of room from the bag.
