WolverineGuy Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 My school isn't big on gi's; but I wear middle or heavy when I grapple. I prefer middleweight overall.

Jussi Häkkinen Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 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.
