[...] Bobh, The V1 a is a Super Lite dogi, it is good for tournament and kumite. [...] This is definitely not what I was told at the time. There was no V2 gi, the V1 was THE dogi made for full-contact karate and rigorous movement. The gi top is rather heavy. Calling it Super Light is not right. Also, I've had light-weight uniforms that have stood up to the same use. Light-weight does not mean weak. Do you mean by the above statement that the gi wasn't meant for regular training? I would rather have seen a response that stood by the product: good or bad. I'll post a picture of what happened to the uniform later. Here it is new:

Bobh,
I call it Super Lite, because it is one of the lightest Cotton Canvas material I use. If you compare with "Drill Cotton or " Twill Cotton, of course this will weight more.
Thanks for your feedback, I have look into a thicker material that might suit grabbing and pulling. Please let me know which are the effected area, so improvement can be make for the future.

Any chance of buying the gi pants on their own?

I just got a thinker or heavier jacket with the same kind of lycra pant. The jacket is a double brush cotton 14oz think. It weigh heavier than the V2, I still don't have a name for it. Kelvin, What is the cost of this new (unnamed) gi (with Enshin Logo, Kanji and Back print)? Any chance of buying the gi pants on their own? Shall we get one, I'll have the top and you can have the pants Trousers ?

I wish I could get a mixed size. The 6 top fits but a 7 would be better but the 6 pants are already really big...
I really do enjoy this dogi more than the KI brand that Kancho supplies from Enshin Honbu but it is pricey and I feel that the sleeves won't last too many more Sabaki grabbing sessions...

I wish I could have a 7 top and 6 pants as well. Or half size? 6.5 top and 6 pants. I'm waiting for the size 7 of the heavy top because I'm going to be using that for chokes and like to have some extra material to grab and use . The 6 pants are perfect for me, 7 is a little big but I can have that altered. I think many of us westerners would could use mixed sized and/or half sizes. General consensus on this? Osu!
