Introduction

The Yank was a part of Bath #8, along with the White Mamba and was limited edition. The top was lightweight 450 gram pearl weave and the pants are 12oz ripstop cotton pants. The top is a one-piece jacket with no back seam. It also contains an ipod/ID pocket and has an EVA foam colar. The white contrast stitching against the navy blue gi is pretty unique.

It was more of a tailored fit than other gis and the inner taping is, like all other SYR gis, custom. The pants, like I said, weigh less than a pound and feature the standard SYR stretchy rope drawstring, 6 point drawstring system, the same contrast color stitching and taping as the top.

Overview

The Venum Power gi is a pretty cool gi. And its offered in the sand / tan color which sin’t very common. The jacket is one piece and is made in Brazil. It advertises itself as a strong training and competition gi, but not a ‘lightweight’ gi. (See below that the Venum weighs 4-6lbs). The collar is fairly hard and the stitching appears to be solid. Like Koral, Venum gis don’t come with belts.

On a side note, they DO come with a sticker and a crazy “mini” gi that you have to see to believe.

Manto Select Review

The Manto Select gi is a single weave lightweight gi with improved pants compared to Manto’s first gi offering. There are extra belt loops and the pants have a rope drawstring similar to Shoyoroll gis. The fit is pretty snug (not baggy) and there is no seam on the back of the gi.

Summary

The Isami Kimono gi is pretty pricey, but by all accounts, you get what you pay for.

Unlike most gis that are made is Brazil, Pakistan, Egypt, or wherever, the Isami’s are the pinnacle of Japanese gis. Isami kimonos are shipped directly from Japan.

It’s got a good amount of mobility and feels different than most other gis you’ve probably worn.

I love that there are gi companies out there trying to be innovative. I first heard of making gis out of hemp about two years ago. Unfortunately, that company never took off, so I was never able to buy one. Bummer!

But then I heard about Chris Odell’s company Datsusara MMA which markets gear, gis, bags, and clothing made of hemp. Hemp fibers are longer, up to four times stronger, more absorbent and more mildew-resistant than cotton. It’s environmentally friendlier to grow than cotton, requiring no pesticides and producing more fiber per land area. Hemp fabric is also naturally antibacterial and antimicrobial– so I was very excited to give it a try. Chris generously sent me one of their Hemp Combat Gis for this review and I have been wearing the HECK out of this thing ever since.
