ProForce Gis

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

I wanted to know your opinions on ProForce Gis.

I recently bought a ProForce Diamond (14oz) Gi. I got it in the mail yesterday and tried it on. It fit beautifully and it feels great.

It is really heavy, so hopefully it will hold up well. Does anybody have any experience with them?

I have a ProForce heavyweight gi and love it. One thing I like about mine is that the fabric is thick and durable; this is also good if you like to keep your sleeves rolled up like I do, because the thickness of the fabric makes it hard for them to unroll (and roll up the first few times,lol).

The only thing is that it takes a few washes to lose that cardboard feel, but other than that I love it.

The new uniform I purchased is a ProForce, like the last one. It looks and feels great. I don't know if yours is all white, but my new one has a green lapel border, as I'm now a green belt. Although the material is heavy, that doesn't mean the color can't fade, but it's fine in cold water.

And, yes, a ProForce uniform can feel like wearing cardboard until it softens up. My teacher suggested a fabric softener to speed things along, but I'll be toughing it out. :)

Haven't had one of their gis, but I have several other pieces of gear from then and they are well made and hold up well.

Proforce are the only ones that dont tether on the lapels for me...all the other ones like century and the ones from Karate depot all tether...not sure about Shureido tho but I like proforce.

Yes, I have a ProForce Diamond myself. It has lasted for years with regular use. I think this is the longest lasting "cheap" gi I have run into - it doesn't absorb as much sweat as a 100% cotton uniform, but for the money you can't complain.
